Viola tricolor ‘Helen Mount’


Johnny Jump-Up

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.550.200


Usually treated as bedding annuals, Johnny Jump-Ups will overwinter, or at least self-seed each year. This is the classic form, with flowers in a delightful combination of violet, yellow and mauve, with a whiskered face. Terrific plants for edging in the border or woodland, and in containers. Plants benefit from a light trimming in June, to encourage new growth for a fall display. Sometimes these will flower all winter in climates with mild weather.
