Sorbet® XP Yellow Jump Up Viola

Sorbet® XP Yellow Jump Up is a mounded horned violet with yellow face and purple wing blooms. Plantworks lists spring and fall flowering, a 6–8-inch garden height, and full to partial sun. Its compact habit suits beds and containers. ## Garden Uses Use horned violet in bedding, flower borders, patio containers, and garden edging. NC State also recommends the species for ground cover and pollinator gardens, where the spreading plants can fill a bed after establishment.

NC State notes that flowering slows during hot summer weather. ## Maintenance Deadhead spent flowers to prolong flowering. After flowering, cut back vigorous growth to keep the plant compact. Weed young beds until plants establish, and watch for slugs, snails, and fungal leaf problems. [RHS Viola cornuta profile]()
