Description

Viola (Viola × wittrockiana) enchants with its “face” blooms in jewel-toned purples, sunny yellows and crisp whites, all set against soft, heart-shaped leaves. Best planted in Florida’s mild fall and winter, violas prefer full sun to part shade and rich, evenly moist, well-drained soil. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage prolonged blooming, and feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer. Perfect for early-season containers, window boxes or edging pathways, violas bring timeless charm and a dose of cheerful color when most other blooms have yet to awaken.
