(Viola x williamsiana) (aka Heartsease) Truly a classic garden flower that never goes out of fashion. Like all violas, can be used as an edible garnish with cheese or salads. Plants are exceedingly free-blooming from spring through late autumn. They are not invasive just delightful! *** HOW TO GROW: Depth: DO NOT COVER but press into soil! 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. Plants enjoy cool rich soil. Flowering is diminished in hot weather. Trimming Johnny Jump-ups back in the heat of summer will encourage another flush of blooms in the fall. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70F **Plant Spacing: 6″. **Hardiness: Zones 3-9. **Sun Requirement: Full Sun / Partial Shade. **Days to Germination: 14-21 days. **Germination Rate: 90%.

Features

• Viola Johnny Jump-Up Flower Seeds, Purple-Yellow, Blooms Heavily, Heartsease, Self-seeding Biennial, Beautiful, Decorative! Height: 5-6″.
• Depth: DO NOT COVER but press into soil! SOIL temperature MUST be kept at 70F for proper germination!!! Cool soil, particularly at night can inhibit or significantly delay germination. Overly warm soils, well above 90F, can inhibit germination and provide ideal conditions for seed rot.
• To keep soil temperature warm, start seeds indoors. Keep the container covered with a plastic bag on the top of the fridge where the room temperature is higher, therefore the soil temperature is good for germination.
• Keep soil moderately moist, though not overly, dripping wet. Water soil when the soil surface just begins to dry. Allow proper air circulation for containers.
• Soil Type: Rich, well-drained, pH 5.8 – 6.8. Once seedlings have sprouted, keep in small containers until a few sets of leaves have developed. Transplant to larger containers or outdoors. If transplanting outdoors, make sure to harden off seedlings by exposing them to only filtered sunlight for up to 1-2 weeks.
