Viola tricolor
HEIRLOOM. Edible flowers make gorgeous garnishes.
Delicately fragrant heirloom flowers are edible and lovely as a dessert or salad garnish. Happily self-sowing in the shade of summer plants, violas are cheerful surprises in the cool months. Johnny- Jump Up is tricolored in bright-purple, yellow, and white. Will rebloom in fall if cut back in the heat of summer. Winter hardy.
- Violas can be cut back in midsummer as they get scraggly, which encourages new growth and re-blooming when cool temperatures return in the fall.
- Add violas to mixed plantings with low-growing perennials.
- They are pretty groundcovers, excellent under deciduous trees, and can be used alone or with other plants such as common periwinkle.
- Use violas anywhere you need an extra touch of color in spring-among other edging plants, with spring bulbs, in containers, and mixed beds and borders.
- Flowers are edible and can be added to salads or used to garnish plates.
