Violas are a diverse group of plants. The flowers are roughly similar across all species, but some are annuals ( last only one growing season ) and some are Perennials ( lasting more than one season ). Here, we focus on the Annual variety. These have many common names, like Pansies, Johnny-jump-ups, etc and there are many hybrids available as seedlings in Nurseries and Garden Centres. They come in a fantastic range of colours and combinations of colours. Plant them in a sunny spot. They really are like "eye candy" !! I saw these Violas growing in pots inside a carport while on a walk around the suburbs.
Primula are also a great Annual plant that is available for Winter planting. These prefer a semi-shaded spot out of the hot sun. Colours available include crimson, pink, white,blue and purple. They grow and flower quickly to give a beautiful display, and they also self-seed, so you are likely to continue to have them year after year. There are also Perennial Primulas , but they are not nearly as popular as the annuals. These Prumula were growing in pots at a Garden Centre in Northern Sydney.
The trial of winter-flowering pansies (violas are excluded) currently under way at the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley includes an amazing 254 different cultivars.
An initial lesson that I took from my time spent on RHS trials judging panel is that, in early winter at least, the small-flowered pansies, which are closer in style to violas, have been more impressive than those with larger flowers. Nine small flowers look far more colourful than two large ones.
https://static1.squarespace.com/static/50db5688e4b00220dc71db15/t/5501aadfe4b0e9c7f82cc9e6/1426172643018/?format=500w
This is why. First, the flowers of many pansies are so large that the petals simply do not have the strength to support themselves. The tops of the flowers hang over, the effect is lost.
Violas, on the other hand, produce such a constant succession of flowers, if one is damaged by the weather another soon opens. And, with alpine species in their ancestry, violas are simply tougher.
Seeing so many winter-flowering pansies together on dull winter days led me to another conclusion: dark colours make no impact. Crimson, deep purple and dark blue, especially if they feature black-blotched faces, never really stand out, but white, primrose, sky blue and pale pink sparkle on even the most overcast days.
In garden centres, or when ordering seed for next season from catalogues, names to look out for amongst violas include 'Sorbet' (24 colours and colour combinations, and probably the most prolific), 'Penny' (25 colours), 'Velour' (23 colours) and 'Angel' (33 colours).

Violas are an early blooming plant. These perennials are often grown as an annual. Most people believe they are annuals. They are early bloomers in late spring to early summer. Then, shrivel in the mid summer heat.
They are native to the southern hemisphere. Easy to grow, you will often find Violas growing in the wild, in their native regions.
There are so many different types of primulas, it’s difficult to choose which ones to go for. There are taller varieties such as the lollipop-shaped flowers of Primula denticulata, which come out a bit later, or the traditional, more familiar types such as the primrose and the cowslip.
They are really easy to grow, flourishing in virtually any situation provided they are planted in rich soil, although cowslips favour free-draining soil and the Asiatic types provide a riot of colour in heavy soil.

Perennial violas look a lot like their cousins, pansies. But, perennial violas offer the benefit of coming back year after year, adding early-season color to the garden, as well as lots of curb appeal first thing in the season when relatively few other plants bloom. Perennial violas bloom in a wide range of colors, and have a soft, old-fashioned feel that makes them ideal for use in cottage gardens. Because these spring flowers are low growing, they're excellent choices for the front of the border or lining walkways and sidewalks. Hardiness varies by variety; if you live in an especially cold-winter area, be sure to check the hardiness before planting.
Grow perennial violas in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours each day) or partial shade. Most varieties can grow quite well in shade, but don't bloom as profusely. Water perennial violas enough to keep the soil moist, but not wet. Though these spring-flowering plants can tolerate some drought, they look better -- and bloom better -- with regular watering.
Primula are an easy to grow group of perennial plants which come in many different colours and shapes. Many people thinking of Primula will bring to mind the popular Polyanthus types illustrated left, but in fact there are many different types, shapes, sizes and colours of Primula and they are great garden plants.

The National Gardening Bureau picked violas as their flower of the year for 2007. Violas and pansies are such relied upon stalwarts that many gardeners take them for granted and think they know everything there is to know about them. True, violas are easy to care for plants.

But in the gardening world, nothing stands still. Newer varieties of violas are being introduced with bolder colors and larger flowers that bloom longer. Even better, they exhibit better heat and cold tolerance than the remarkably hardy varieties we're familiar with.

Primroses are actually hermaphrodites - but they have 'pin' and 'thrum' flowers - one with short male parts and long female parts (pin), and the opposite for thrum. This is under genetic control.

I don't know if anyone has experimentally been able to overcome the genetic basis, but most likely if they did it would be impossible to duplicate inexpensively outside of a highly controlled laboratory setting.

Violas are typically lower growing than pansies, with smaller, more abundant flowers. Many violas form a trailing habit and look fabulous in a hanging basket, patio pot or window box. Don’t be put off by their smaller size – in fact violas will produce more flowers per plant than a pansy! Here’s our step by step guide to fabulous violas.
Violas are profuse, low-growing cottage garden perennials. The colour combinations you can achieve are myriad – purples, lilacs, pinks, blues and magentas. Varieties available cover trailing violas, double-flowered and colour-changing flowers, as well as violas with particularly striking, variegated foliage. Viola flowers are also edible – you can add a dash of colour to a salad or as a garnish, or use them in jams, cakes or as decoration on the top of biscuits!

Primroses provide you with early spring blooms in almost every color of the rainbow. They prefer cool temperatures, a rich humus soil (lots of compost and leaf mold) and partial shade. They appreciate full sun in the spring, but must have semi-shade as the temperatures warm. They are quite tolerant of being transplanted, even when they are in bloom. They should be planted in a cool, partly shady area in the garden with rich, well-draining, slightly acid soil (pH 6.5). Primroses need to be planted so that their crown is right at soil level and at least six inches apart.

These traditional fully frost-hardy plants will survive the harshest of British winters and will reward you with a burst of colour in the spring. Primroses are part of the Primula family, named from the Latin primus meaning first, the first flowers to appear in the spring.
Primroses are easy to grow and are not prone to attacks from disease. Keep slugs away with pellets or beer traps if they prove a problem. Remove any leaves which show signs of leaf spot, as these can cause fungal spots. Groups of yellow spots turning darker in colour on the underside of leaves can be identified as Primula Rust – this is not an invasive problem, and the leaves can either be left or removed; grey mould or downy mildew which requires chemical treatment.
Generally primroses flower in the spring and flowering time can vary depending on weather conditions. After a very harsh winter the flowering may be slightly delayed, whereas a mild winter encourages earlier flowers.

Primula are herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennials, forming a basal rosette of simple leaves, with salver-shaped or bell-shaped flowers which may be solitary or carried in an umbel or in whorls on an erect stem
'Harry Hotspur' is an evergreen, perennial, alpine auricula, up to 20cm tall, with rosettes of light green leaves. Clusters of dark red-purple flowers with paler edges and white centres, are produced on short stems in mid- to late spring
Primulas are a sight for sore eyes in spring, arriving in a rainbow of colours to add pizzazz to patios and perk up beds and borders.
These cheerful bedding plants offer great value, flowering their hearts out for weeks returning in subsequent years and self-seeding to give you more plants for your money.

Viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae. It is the largest genus in the family, containing between 525 and 600 species.Most species are found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere; however, some are also found in widely divergent areas such as Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes.
Some Viola species are perennial plants, some are annual plants, and a few are small shrubs. A large number of species, varieties and cultivars are grown in gardens for their ornamental flowers
In horticulture the term "pansy" is normally used for those multi-coloured, large-flowered cultivars which are raised annually or biennially from seed and used extensively in bedding. The terms "viola" and "violet" are normally reserved for small-flowered annuals or perennials, including the species

Primrose or Primula is a flower plant that has many variations of shape, size, and color. The body of the primrose plant is short to medium, making it suitable for planting in your home garden. Be careful, even though the flowers are beautiful but this plant is poisonous.
Viola flower or in Latin, Viola sp is a family of violaceae originating from Europe and Asia. Viola is a type of plant that blooms and is resistant to various environmental conditions, but flowering more beautifully in the highlands with cool weather.

Primula is a genus of mainly herbaceous flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. They include the familiar wildflower of banks and verges, the primrose (P. vulgaris). Other common species are P. auricula (auricula), P. veris (cowslip) and P. elatior (oxlip).
These species and many others are valued for their ornamental flowers. They have been extensively cultivated and hybridised - in the case of the primrose, for many hundreds of years. Primula are native to the temperate northern hemisphere, south into tropical mountains in Ethiopia, Indonesia and New Guinea, and in temperate southern South America. Almost half of the known species are from the Himalayas.[2]
Primula has about 500 species in traditional treatments, and more if certain related genera are included within its circumscription
Primula species have been extensively cultivated and hybridised, mainly derived from P. elatior, P. juliae, P. veris and P. vulgaris. Polyanthus (often called P. polyantha) is one such group of plants, which has produced a large variety of strains in all colours, usually grown as annuals or biennials and available as seeds or young plants.

A beautiful plant, my friend and Viola plant (lat. Viola) belongs to the genus in the family of Violaceae, the representatives of which grow mainly in mountainous areas and places with a moderate climate of the Northern Hemisphere and number from four to seven hundred species according to various sources. Some of the violas are endemic to the South American Andes, some of them occur in the subtropics of Brazil, the tropics of South Africa, Australia, the Hawaiian Islands and New Zealand

Light: Violas are tolerant of most conditions, yet will thrive in full sun or part shade especially during the spring, yet will easily fade in full sun during summer heat, and best to transplant into dappled shade.
Soil: Moist, nutrient-rich soil that is well drained and supplemented with compost. Fertilize, as needed, to keep plants strong and healthy.
Primula elatior (this one grown by primrose expert Amy Olmsted in Vermont) as dug from the garden for a primrose exhibition, proves how resilient primroses can be in the spring, as all tolerate being dug and potted for a few days and brought indoors, only later to be returned to the garden often after dividing them (this is usually what most growers do).

Viola plants are really amazing. Viola plants prefer cool to warm climates, and wilt a bit in mid-summer heat. In warmer areas, we recommend partial shade. They tolerate a variety of soils. Add a general purpose fertilizer when planting them, then once a month after that.
sources
Once your Viola plants are established, they should grow well, even if left unattended. Soil should be moist, but not wet. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week. Keep them well weeded.
sources
Remove spent blooms to promote additional blooms, and extend the blooming period. This will also keep the appearance neat and beautiful.

Viola Etain in bloom
Pale lemon yellow paired with purple makes the Viola Etain the perfect shady ground cover.
Light: Violas are tolerant of most conditions, yet will thrive in full sun or part shade especially during the spring, yet will easily fade in full sun during summer heat, and best to transplant into dappled shade.
Soil: Moist, nutrient-rich soil that is well drained and supplemented with compost. Fertilize, as needed, to keep plants strong and healthy.
Spacing: Set out young plants 4-6 inches apart, or sow seeds in drills or plug trays to be transplanted once they are established. In some areas, sowing seeds directly into the garden in the fall and early spring by sprinkling seed, and raking. If plants are grown too closely packed, thin out, allowing 4 inches between plants that will grow in place.
Planting: Set out plants anytime in early spring, once danger of hard frost is past. Violas do best in cooler spring and fall conditions, yet will also do well in mid-summer if plants are kept deadheaded to encourage continuous blooms. (Violas are not to be confused with the indoor plant known as Violets, as there is no relation.)

Viola, genus of about 500 species of herbs or low shrubs, including the small, solid-coloured violets and the larger-flowered, often multicoloured violas and pansies.
Viola occur naturally worldwide but are found most abundantly in temperate climates, with the greatest variety occurring in the Andes Mountains of South America.
Wild Viola may be annuals or perennials. Because Viola freely hybridize, however, it is often difficult to identify their species.
The flower, variable in colour, but not red, usually grows singly on a stalk and has five petals, four arranged in unlike pairs, the fifth with a spur (see photograph).
The leaves may grow on the same stalk as the flower (stemmed violets) or on separate stalks (stemless violets).
Though the best-known Viola have heart-shaped leaves, the leaves of other species may have different shapes.

Pansies provide winter color on winter days. Cooler days mean it is pansy planting time. Do it before the ground gets cold to give roots enough time to “catch.” It is wise to prepare the pansy bed before the plants arrive so there will be no delay in setting them out.
Pansies provide lots of color, they like plenty of sun except in the hottest part of the day. Never try growing them in full shade.
If they become leggy they are not getting enough sun. Keep the plants away from buildings and trees that block off light and ventilation. They are brilliant plants for fall garden joy and perfect for growing in containers to add that color pop needed.

Viola typically have heart-shaped, scalloped leaves, though a number have palmate leaves or other shapes. The vast majority of Viola species are herbaceous, and a substantial number are acaulescent in habit - meaning they lack any noticeable stems and the foliage and flowers appear to rise from the ground; the remaining species have short stems with foliage and flowers produced in the axils of the leaves. The simple leaves of plants with either habit are arranged alternately; the acaulescent species produce basal rosettes. Plants always have leaves with stipules that are often leaf-like.

Colorful primulas are among the first flowers to appear in spring, providing a bright spark to a landscape just coming to life after a long winter. Also known as primroses, most primulas are native to mild climates. In their natural habitat, primulas prefer woodland conditions -- moist, well-drained soil and semi-shade.
Primula includes hundreds of individual species. Primulas are categorized into five main types. Most are low-growing plants that top out at 3 to 12 inches, but a few reach heights up to 30 inches
There are over 500 species of the genus Viola, commonly called violets. They are found scattered across the world, but most are in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere.
Most violets are perennials, but a few are annual plants and a few reach the size of small shrubs. Pansies are violets; dogtooth violets (Erythronium dens-canis) and African violets (Saintpaulia) are not.

The common name of viola is a pansy. The violet-viola has long been popular. About 2,500 years ago ancient peoples inhabiting the territory of Europe weaved the flower into festive garlands and wreaths, decorating the rooms for celebrations. Sweet viola was the first viola that was introduced in the culture and it was followed by mountain viola.

Violas are plants with personality, which is what attracted us to them in the first place, their smiling faces and sunny disposition. On our nursery in South Shropshire we grow a lot of violas, 180 different varieties in fact. They are all perennial types and range from some very old and precious heritage varieties to the latest, most exciting introductions.
Primula species have been extensively cultivated and hybridised, mainly derived from P. elatior, P. juliae, P. veris and P. vulgaris. Polyanthus (often called P. polyantha) is one such group of plants, which has produced a large variety of strains in all colours, usually grown as annuals or biennials and available as seeds or young plants.

Some of the violas are endemic to the South American Andes, some of them occur in the subtropics of Brazil, the tropics of South Africa, Australia, the Hawaiian Islands and New Zealand. The common name of viola is a pansy.
The violet-viola has long been popular. About 2,500 years ago ancient peoples inhabiting the territory of Europe weaved the flower into festive garlands and wreaths, decorating the rooms for celebrations.
Sweet viola was the first viola that was introduced in the culture and it was followed by mountain viola. The first mention of breeding works on breeding hybrids of violets dates back to 1683. Acquaintance of the Europeans with the species of the garden pansy (viola wittrockiana) that is a hybrid of mountain pansy, viola altaica and wild pansy (viola tricolor) took place in the XIX century.
Today, a garden viola is one of the most popular plants, numbering hundreds of species and varieties.

There are over 500 species of the genus Viola, commonly called violets. They are found scattered across the world, but most are in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere. Most violets are perennials, but a few are annual plants and a few reach the size of small shrubs. Pansies are violets; dogtooth violets (Erythronium dens-canis) and African violets (Saintpaulia) are not.
Typically, violets are small plants growing about 12 inches high with a similar spread. They have heart-shaped leaves and asymmetrical flowers. The shape of the petals is a defining factor for many species. Blue and purple flowers are the most common. Red, pink, white, yellow, and bi-colored flowers also occur. Violas usually flower profusely during their bloom period. Traditionally they are a spring flower, but newer varieties have been bred to bloom all summer. Some species are hardy to zone 4.
Here are some uses of Violets and pansies are used as bedding plants, edging plants, and in containers.
Violet flowers and leaves are edible, and are sometimes used in salads. Crystallized violet flowers are an edible decoration for cakes and pastries. Candied violets, called violettes de Toulouse, are still made commercially at Toulouse, France. Syrup made of violets has traditionally been used for respiratory ailments. Violet tea has been used for digestive disorders and as a headache remedy.

Violas are typically lower growing than pansies, with smaller, more abundant flowers. Many violas form a trailing habit and look fabulous in a hanging basket, patio pot or window box. Don’t be put off by their smaller size – in fact violas will produce more flowers per plant than a pansy! Here’s our step by step guide to fabulous violas.

Violas are profuse, low-growing cottage garden perennials. The colour combinations you can achieve are myriad – purples, lilacs, pinks, blues and magentas. Varieties available cover trailing violas, double-flowered and colour-changing flowers, as well as violas with particularly striking, variegated foliage. Viola flowers are also edible – you can add a dash of colour to a salad or as a garnish, or use them in jams, cakes or as decoration on the top of biscuits.

Violas is such a wonderful Australian plant. I'm pleased to know about this beautiful plant. The common name of viola is a pansy. The violet-viola has long been popular. About 2,500 years ago ancient peoples inhabiting the territory of Europe weaved the flower into festive garlands and wreaths, decorating the rooms for celebrations. Sweet viola was the first viola that was introduced in the culture and it was followed by mountain viola. Really a historical name.

Barnhaven primroses and polyanthus are bred to be hardy and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, but they are descended from woodlanders and are happiest in humus-rich, well-drained soil which does not dry out.
The ideal location for them would be on a slope under deciduous trees, - or in a north-east facing bed. Full sun on frozen foliage, alternating freeze / thaw conditions, waterlogging in winter, or hot dry conditions in summer will all punish the plants.
If you get a lot of freezing, a loose covering of leaves or straw will help. Dividing the plants every two or three years helps also, and is a must for the doubles. For best results, feed the plants with a weak solution of high potash or tomato fertiliser every ten days from the time the buds start to form until the first flowers open.
A 'thank you' feed when flowering ends is recommended, but don't feed late in the season and don't use a high nitrogen fertiliser.

Primula is a genus which is generally a flowering plant in the Primulaceae family. Primula originates from warm northern hemispheres, south to tropical mountains in Ethiopia, Indonesia and New Guinea, and in temperate regions in southern South America. Nearly half of the species known are from the Himalayas.

Primulas, or Primulas, are one of the first flowers that open the spring, accompanying it, and then connecting with the summer. Interest in primulas does not fade. In our country primroses, according to garden statistics, are the most grown perennials from seeds! Every year, breeders create new varieties (which often do not register, so they are nameless), worthy of taking their place in the cottages. Such primroses are distributed through nurseries (for example, the cotton garden) and private traders.

Violas are plants with personality, which is what attracted us to them in the first place, their smiling faces and sunny disposition. On our nursery in South Shropshire we grow a lot of violas, 180 different varieties in fact. They are all perennial types and range from some very old and precious heritage varieties to the latest, most exciting introductions.
There can be few plants that can match the length of the flowering season of violas. Many of the viola hybrids start flowering in April (May for the cornutas) and combine beautifully with spring bulbs such as Muscari ‘Valerie Finnis’ and Narcissus triandus ‘Hawera’. They then continue to flower throughout the summer and well into September.
In the garden the more vigorous varieties, notably many of the cornutas and some of the hybrids such as Viola ‘Ivory Queen’ , V. 'Roscastle Black’ and V. ‘Eastgrove Blue’ are good for underplanting shrubs, but they are also lovely subjects for the front of the border, scrambling through their taller flowering neighbours and combining well with many traditional cottage garden favourites such as geraniums, potentillas and astrantias.

There are so many different types of primulas, it’s difficult to choose which ones to go for. There are taller varieties such as the lollipop-shaped flowers of Primula denticulata, which come out a bit later, or the traditional, more familiar types such as the primrose and the cowslip.
They are really easy to grow, flourishing in virtually any situation provided they are planted in rich soil, although cowslips favour free-draining soil and the Asiatic types provide a riot of colour in heavy soil.
They look more like miniature red hot pokers. Primula vialii have unusual flower spikes with light purple flowers opening from the red buds at the base first. These upright beauties prefer acidic soil in damp locations.

Many plant species are commonly referred to as "viola," but two major kinds exist. One kind is called Johnny-jump-up (Viola tricolor) because it pops up early in spring.
The other kind is horned violet (Viola cornuta). Both types have many small, delicate blossoms in shades of purple with patches of yellow and white. Although often grown as annuals, Johnny-jump-up is an annual, a biennial or a short-lived perennial in U.S.
Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9 while horned violet is biennial or perennial in USDA zones 6 through 11. A viola thrives when given some basic care and the right environment.

Primulas are a sight for sore eyes in spring, arriving in a rainbow of colours to add pizzazz to patios and perk up beds and borders.
These cheerful bedding plants offer great value, flowering their hearts out for weeks returning in subsequent years and self-seeding to give you more plants for your money.
Plant them in damp soil in a shady spot and let them do their thing. They cross pollinate and multiply, so you may get a mix of colours over the years.
Hybrid polyanthus produce the brightly coloured plants that are common in garden centres at this time of year,
while the common native primulas, Primula vulgaris, have yellow blooms and are found in hedgerows in the countryside. Most need the same care.

Pansies and Violas will flower every month of the year!
Pansies are actually large flowered forms of Viola and are regarded as much showier bedding plants but Viola plants have their cuter charm and are preferred by some for growing in window boxes and pots.
One thing that Pansies and Violas have in common is that they are very easy garden plants to grow!
Both Pansies and Viola plants are half hardy garden annuals, but are used in the garden as bedding plants for borders, pot plants for containers on patios and terraces and excellent flowering and scented plants for hanging baskets and window boxes.

Types of Primulas
Auricula
Auricula primulas, suitable for growing in USDA zones 3 through 9, display leathery, grayish green leaves and clusters of brightly colored blooms. Auricula consists of three main types -- Alpine primulas with colorful petals and centers of contrasting gold or white, Show primulas, which include a variety of bright-colored blooms, each with a white center encircled by a black ring, and a third variety -- border primulas, vigorous plants that display bright blooms with a sweet aroma. Because the blooms are so showy, Auricula primulas are often grown in containers.
Candelabra
Unlike most primulas, Candelabra primulas are tall varieties with whorled blooms and long, sturdy stems. The plants often reach heights up to 24 inches. Candelabra primulas include Apple Blossom (P. japonica "Apple Blossom"), in shades of deep pink and red, and Oriental Sunrise, (P. japonica "Oriental Sunrise"), in a mix of colors that include orange, yellow, peach, lavender and mauve. Postford White (P. japonica "Postford White" ) displays pure white blooms with contrasting yellow centers. Candelabra primulas are suitable for growing in USDA zones 4 through 9.
Juliae
Juliana primulas (P. Juliae), low-growing plants with bright green leaves, top out at only 3 to 4 inches, with each colorful bloom growing on a single stalk. Juliana primulas, suitable for growing in zones 5 through 9, are ideal for woodland areas, borders or flower beds. Varieties include White Wanda (P. juliae "Wanda Albaan"), a dainty, old-fashioned white primrose with yellow centers, and Footlight Parade (P. juliae "Footlight Parade"), in shades of salmon, orange, apricot and peach.
Acaulis
Acaulis primulas (p. Acaulia or p. Vulgaris) are hybrid varieties with sturdy stems that bear two or three large, rosette-style blooms. Commonly known as English primulas, Acaulis primulas are similar to polyanthus cultivars. Acaulis primulas, which grow to 8 inches tall, are hardy in USDA zones 3 through 7. Blooms come in shades of white, red, blue, bronze, wine, yellow, brown, such as the sweet-scented Danova (P. vulgaris "Danova") or the rose-colored Belarina (P. vulgaris "Belarina").

This is a lovely candelabra primula, found growing wild on hillsides in China. It looks great planted in groups and produces semi-evergreen rosettes of leaves, from the middle of which appear upright spikes of flowers in crimson fading to orange in summer.
The foliage remains above ground in all but severe conditions, so do not cut back in autumn. However plants may be tidied up in spring to remove the worst old foliage to make way for fresh new growth in spring, if wished.
Ideal conditions are partial shade in rich, moist soil of neutral to acid pH. It has been given an Award of Garden Merit (AGM), which is for plants of outstanding excellence.

Violas are related to garden pansies, but usually propagated by division or cuttings rather than by seed, and generally more tolerant of summer heat and a little hardier than their large-flowered cousins.
These are versatile plants, useful for edging, in the rock garden, and especially in containers or window boxes. Superb companions to spring-flowering bulbs.
This selection features white flowers strongly edged in streaky dark purple, and a tiny yellow eye. Flowers are edible! Divide each September, as plants need to be renewed regularly.
Trim plants back in June to rejuvenate the foliage.

Violas are easy and rewarding to grow. The pretty little flowers are similar to Pansy flowers, only smaller and daintier.
Violas planted over winter sometimes take until the following spring to get going, but once they do they flower like crazy! Trailing varieties are ideal for growing in hanging baskets.
Allow seed-heads to form and pop and you may end up with extra violas in your garden next year!

@ctrl-alt-nwo, For sure great to know about these Annual Plants. But in my case no matter what plants, natural aspects gives the healing essence.
And when i am watching these flowers as carefully then i can see these flowers as beautiful yellowish butterflies which are quietly sitting on these plants.
And in my opinion the Almighty created the flowers to spread the welcoming essence because, whenever we see flowers it always give new and refreshing essence.
And in the last picture we can see an unique stuff and that is, those white flowers are creating an group and making an perfect circle which is producing the eye-catching essence.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
