Viola Johnny-Jump Up 8211 Burpee Seeds

Description

Viola tricolor HEIRLOOM. Edible flowers make gorgeous garnishes. Delicately fragrant heirloom flowers are edible and lovely as a dessert or salad garnish. Happily self-sowing in the shade of summer plants, violas are cheerful surprises in the cool months. Johnny- Jump Up is tricolored in bright-purple, yellow, and white. Will rebloom in fall if cut back in the heat of summer. Winter hardy. Violas can be cut back in midsummer as they get scraggly, which encourages new growth and re-blooming when cool temperatures return in the fall. Add violas to mixed plantings with low-growing perennials. They are pretty groundcovers, excellent under deciduous trees, and can be used alone or with other plants such as common periwinkle. Use violas anywhere you need an extra touch of color in spring-among other edging plants, with spring bulbs, in containers, and mixed beds and borders. Flowers are edible and can be added to salads or used to garnish plates.
