More about this plant
Sorbet Pink Wing has a pink cap over a white face. Sorbet XP violas cover the soil at flowering with more blooms per plant and less stretch, stay compact in heat and cold, and overwinter well, on mounded plants 6 to 8 inches tall and wide. Horned violets grow best in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. They bloom through cool weather and slow down in summer heat; deadheading encourages new buds.
