More about this plant
Sorbet XP Yellow Jump Up is a Sorbet XP viola. 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.
