    Hello, I am interested to know if any of you have grown Viola 'sorbet' this winter and how the plants have performed. Do any of the colours flower more profusely and have they flowered all winter?
    This year I have grown 'Delta' Pansies in containers and beds for a bit of winter colour as I was told they were a good winter pansy, I have flowers on about a quarter of them at the moment and the plants are looking a bit tatty. Having read a few things on the internet it would seem that these 'sorbet' violas are THE bees knees when it comes to winter flowers. I'd love to know how you rate these plants as I really want nice winter containers next winter.

    Kind regards

    Jim

    Anyone?
    The Delta pansies are flowering a bit better now we have had this spell of warmer weather. Still interested to see how anyone got on with Viola 'sorbet' :)

    I haven't tried them Jim, so can't really comment.
