Closely related to garden pansies, violas tend to have smaller flowers, and are usually more tolerant of summer heat. Like pansies, violas are used in bedding displays, hanging baskets and patio containers, and work well when grown with spring-flowering bulbs. The flowers of many species are edible and may be eaten in salads.

Viola ‘Sorbet Orange Jump’ is part of the Sorbet series of violas, which are prized for their winter hardiness. ‘Sorbet Orange Jump’ has bicoloured orange and maroon flowers. For best results, deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
