Viola, Johnny Jump Up (Viola Tricolor) - 200 Seeds

These are such delightful little flowers that bring charm and grace to any summer landscape. They grow very easily from Viola seeds, and once established will even self-sow. They are not invasive. Johnny Jump Up wildflowers have been around for centuries and are native to the mountains of Spain and France. They are found growing in many temperate regions of the world, and they are widely admired for their bright little faces. Other common names are Wild Pansy and Heartsease. Also considered to be a medicinal herb, the Wild Pansy herb was used to treat skin conditions and was found growing in many herb gardens.

Since they are cool weather flowers, Johnny Jump Up wildflowers will bloom in the spring, fade during the heat of summer, and will often return with a new flush of flowers in the fall. The species have tri-colored blooms of purple, yellow and white and look like mini-pansies. They usually grow in 3 - 6 inch clumps with heart-shaped leaves. The foliage is evergreen in some areas, but not very large.

Planting Instructions:
Sow Johnny Jump-up wildflower seeds directly outdoors in early spring or in the fall. The Viola seeds are tiny so do not cover the herb seeds with more than 1/16 of an inch of soil. Thin Johnny Jump Up seedlings to 6 inches apart. Johnny Jump-up plants likes moist, rich soil, but they are adaptable to a wide variety of soil types. Sunny areas may be too hot in southern climates, while shady areas may be too cold in northern zones. Depending on your temperature zone, these wildflowers may grow in full sun to full shade. Trimming Johnny Jump-ups back in the heat of summer will encourage another flush of blooms in the fall.
