Viola Sorbet XP White (Sorbet XP Series)

Product Image
This compact, mounded early season pansy produces neat, white, pale veined flowers with smooth, rounded petals and a soft yellow centre.

Viola Sorbet XP White is ideal for edging borders, pots or mixed containers and offers reliable cool season weather performance from late winter. It holds up well to light frost, attracts pollinators, and grows happily in partial shade or full sun.

The small, toothed foliage adds low-growing structure and stays neat throughout the season. Fragrant blooms make it a good choice near paths or seating areas.

How to care for Viola Sorbet XP White (Sorbet XP Series):

Pot-grown plants can be planted out or potted up into compost or well-drained, humus-rich soil that is neither frozen nor prone to waterlogging.

Keep well watered, and feed with a good, high potash fertiliser (such as Tomorite) on a regular basis. Pinching off the spent flowers will encourage more to form.

Protect young plants from slug and snail damage using environmentally friendly pellets, beer traps or alternative methods available in our slug and snail control selection.
