Viola tricolor Blue Elf

Johnny Jump-Up

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.550.220

(='King Henry') Usually treated as bedding annuals, Johnny Jump-ups will overwinter, or at least self-seed each year. This extremely popular selection has miniature pansy flowers in a deep violet-blue shade, with a tiny yellow eye. 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.
