Viola cornuta, also known as Horned Violet, resembles the pansy but with a smaller flower.

Viola Sorbet XP is renowned for its compact size and uniform growth in both heat and cold, making it a standout multi-season performer across a wide range of climatic conditions. Plants have foliage that covers the ground well, making them an excellent companion plant for covering the soil to prevent drying out between waterings. It flowers early and blooms for a long time. It performs best during the cooler months and a mild winter. This F1 Hybrid variety is a must-have in the Garden through Spring and Autumn! It offers more colors than any other viola series.

Morpho sports stunning yellow petals in the front and blue bi-color in the back.
