Viola 'Sorbet Beaconsfield': Classic Bicolor Elegance for Cool Seasons

Timeless Pattern

The Beaconsfield pattern features two distinct colors on the same flower: the top two petals are a rich violet-blue, while the bottom three petals are creamy white. This creates a striking, stable bicolor that reads as two flowers in one. Sorbet violas are known for their incredible floriferousness—often 20+ blooms per plant at once—and uniform, compact habit.

Growing Requirements

• Light: Full sun to partial shade. Cool-season annual.
• Height: 4–6 inches.
• Spread: 10–12 inches (1 foot or less).
• Soil: Well-drained, rich in organic matter.
• Water: Moderate. Keep evenly moist.

Garden Applications

The elegant bicolor shines in containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Stunning massed in beds for a sophisticated carpet. Pair with solid violet, white, and yellow violas. The Sorbet series' better heat tolerance extends the spring season in warm climates. Reliable for fall, winter, and spring color in zones 6–9.

Care

Deadhead for continuous bloom. Slow-release fertilizer at planting. Light monthly feeding. Protect from summer heat. Afternoon shade in warm climates. Edible flowers for elegant garnishes.
