Johnny Jump-Up (Viola tricolor) |
Have Cottage Garden Feature plant Perennials |
I love this old and charming favorite. It self-seeds, but not aggressively. It's also edible and beautiful in salads and frozen into ice-cubes or made as a decoration under rice wraps for spring rolls. | March 24, 2021: Seeds sown (Sown in outdoor pots under cold frame cover. NOTE: Needs darkness to germinate, so a very thin covering of soil over the seed is recommended.) March 3, 2022: Seeds sown (WS in jugs. Needs darkness to germinate. Ferry-Morse seed.) |
