Viola Seeds - Johnny Jump-up

$3.25

Viola cornuta

A sweet little flower that enjoys a lightly shaded corner of any garden. Quarter size purple, yellow and white flowers appear in late spring and last through fall. Edible, self seeding, and have been seen poking their pretty faces through snow.

Direct seed or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Violas will need full sun and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, violas will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for flowers. Annual.
