Sorbet® XP Delft Blue

Flower

Viola cornuta

Overview
Upright stems with petite 1-1 1/2" flowers. Tolerates temperature extremes and will bloom through winter in the South when planted in fall. Excellent in containers and garden beds. Rounded petal edges give a pleasant, full appearance. The blue and white bicolor blooms are reminiscent of Dutch Delft blue pottery. A favorite in our spring trials. Cut flowers: Overwinters well in our unheated tunnel (Zone 5) from a fall planting, yielding 12-20" long stems under those conditions. Harvestable in mid-to-late spring. Dense, upright plants produce abundant stems and blooms. Edible Flowers: Decorative and edible garnish for salads and desserts with slight wintergreen flavor. While a popular choice for brightening up salad mix, the flowers are also good for candying.Also known as Johnny jump-up, European field pansy, heart's ease, and hybrid violet.
