Description
The flowers of the deeply nasturtium-orange Viola cornuta Sorbet XP 'Deep Orange' are unusually vivid, abundantly covering its dark green evergreen foliage in spring, and again in autumn. This colorful horned violet produces small, vigorous compact clumps. It is an easy-to-grow biennial that can be used to create flamboyant borders as well as sumptuous pots or containers. Combine it with the blue or white flowers of forget-me-nots for a stunning effect.
Belonging to the Violaceae family, the horned violet, which grows wild in the Pyrenees, has given rise to numerous hybrids. The latest generation varierty Sorbet XP 'Deep Orange', is a remarkable little plant, bushy, spreading, and compact, 10 to 15 cm (5.9 in) tall when in bloom, with beautiful dark green, crenated, oval, evergreen leaves. Flowering starts early in spring, slows down a bit in summer, depending on the climate, then picks up again from late summer until the onset of winter. The flowers of this violet are an unmistakable orange, tinged with a slightly lighter mandarin-orange are a superb, almost pure colour. They resemble those of small pansies but their petals are arranged differently. The two upper petals are erect, the other three are inclined downwards. It spreads quite quickly thanks to its root system and also self-seeds easily in the garden.
Horned violets are intended for low beds and borders but also pots and window boxes, where they can be used to create beautiful color combinations on their own, or with other plants that flower in spring and summer (forget-me-nots, dwarf daffodils, daisies, primroses, tulips, summer and autumn asters, etc.). The flowers of horned violets are edible, so do not hesitate to decorate your plates with one or two flowers, or even sprinkle on your salads to give them a splash of colour.

Planting and care
Horned violets thrive in a light, humus-rich soil, moist but well-drained as they dislike excessive moisture in winter. In heavy soil, add a little sand to improve the drainage.
Plant them in a sunny, but not over-hot location, or in light shade.
Fast-growing and free-flowering, they are nutrient-demanding plants. Feed them with a liquid feed once or twice a week during the growth period. Water regularly but not excessively. Deadhead to encourage flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
