An ideal choice for underplanting roses or edging beds, borders, and walkways, it also makes excellent evergreen ground cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Avril Lawson' is an easy and rewarding plant to grow. Deadhead the blooms as they fade to prolong the flowering season and keep the display looking its best. If the plant begins to look untidy — as Violas sometimes do in the heat of summer — simply cut it back hard. It will regrow and rebloom, refreshing itself and continuing to perform well into the season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough 'Avril Lawson' is a perennial, it can be relatively short-lived. The good news is that it is very easy to propagate from soft tip cuttings taken in spring or early summer — a simple and reliable way to keep a good stock of plants going and ensure you are never without it in the garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHappy in any reasonably good soil in full sun or partial shade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca role=\"link\" class=\"link tone-auto\" href=\"https:\/\/hardysplants.live\/blogs\/the-growers-notebook\/viola-avril-lawson-rosys-favourite-viola-and-the-perfect-rose-companion\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cslot\u003eRead our Grower's Notebook guide to Viola 'Avril Lawson' →\u003c\/slot\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1x4zg_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight × Spread: 30cm × 60cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":53599601197398,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Litre","offer_id":53599601230166,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4928\/0598\/files\/Viola_AvrilLawson_Va.jpg?v=1775153093","url":"https:\/\/hardysplants.live\/products\/viola-avril-lawson-va","provider":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
