Viola, Assorted Colors

Viola 

Plant Description:
Violas are compact, cool-season annuals or short-lived perennials known for their cheerful, fragrant blooms that come in a wide range of colors including purple, blue, yellow, and white. The flowers resemble pansies but are typically smaller, with delicate, heart-shaped petals and bright faces. The plants form low mounds of bright green foliage that provide an attractive base for the continuous blooms.

Grow Zone:
Best grown in USDA Zones 3–9. In Zone 9, violas thrive in fall, winter, and early spring before the summer heat sets in.

Height and Width:
Typically grows 4 to 8 inches tall and spreads 6 to 10 inches wide.

Uses:
Ideal for garden borders, containers, window boxes, and mass plantings. Violas are also excellent for edging walkways or mixing with other cool-season flowers. Their edible flowers can be used to garnish salads, desserts, and drinks, making them popular for ornamental and culinary purposes.

Native Range:
Native to Europe and western Asia, where they naturally occur in meadows, woodlands, and cool, temperate regions.

Sun and Water Requirements:
Prefers full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade recommended in warmer climates. Requires well-draining, fertile soil kept consistently moist but not soggy. Regular deadheading encourages longer blooming and a more compact habit.
