Viola · Cool-season favorites

Light
Violas love the cool season and do best in sun to part sun. In mild spells they bloom enthusiastically; they fade once real heat arrives.
Water
Keep the soil evenly moist — violas don’t like to dry out completely. Water when the surface begins to dry.
Soil & Feeding
Use a quality potting mix and feed lightly through the cool growing season to keep the flowers coming.

Plant Bio
Viola · the cheerful cool-season Viola
Violas are the smaller, more prolific cousins of the pansy, grown for masses of dainty flowers that often look like little smiling faces.
They shine in the cool shoulder seasons — spring and fall — blooming generously when summer flowers haven’t started or have finished, and shrugging off light frost.
Beyond their charm, the flowers are edible and make a beautiful, safe garnish for salads, cakes, and drinks.
What makes it special?
- Bloom in cool weather when little else will.
- Charming, multicolored flower ‘faces.’
- Edible, pet-safe flowers for the whole family.
Note: Violas are non-toxic to pets and people — the flowers are even edible. A worry-free pick around animals and children.
