Pansy Sorbet XP Delft Autumn Bedding 9cm Pot

Delivering bold contrast with deep violet upper petals dramatically offset by crisp white lower petals, this eye-catching pansy creates striking displays throughout the cooler months. The bicoloured, fragrant blooms feature violet edging and veining on white petals, blending into a central dark blotch marked with distinctive black and yellow throat markings. Viola Sorbet XP Delft Blue forms compact, mounded clumps with attractive mid-green, scalloped-edged foliage that remains evergreen in all but the coldest winters. This shade-tolerant perennial excels in flower beds, containers and hanging baskets, requiring minimal maintenance whilst delivering maximum impact. Perfect for winter and spring colour, this low-maintenance cultivated variety combines reliable performance in challenging conditions, with ornamental appeal. 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 natural pellets or alternative methods available in our slug and snail control selection.
