Nothing is as charming as a patch of Johnny-Jump-Ups poking their heads above the snow. Although violas are perennial, they are often grown like annuals because they do not perform well in an extended period of heat. USDA zones 4-8 can reliably plant violas as perennials. Other areas may want to use them as cool-season annuals. Violas will return in all zones by reseeding. Edible flowers are charming on salads and desserts.

    I winter sow in milk jugs, planted 6 of these in a jug and all came up. I forgot to pinch them back so they got a little leggy throughout the season but performed well and as expected otherwise. I had them in afternoon shade and they bloomed all summer and into the fall.

    Now these are beautiful! They bloomed pretty quickly and really took well to being in a planter. We move them around to get the sun and they really cheer up the house.

    These grew so fast! The flowers have such a lovely perfume-y fragrance! Some are just white, but still beautiful. 34 new flower bulbs are coming to bloom!

    I really love botanical interests seeds, they have an awesome selection of plants and varieties, great germination rates, the packages are always lovely and their prices are competitive. Plus you get additional gifts of seed after ordering a certain amount! Great way to restock each season!
