Johnny Jump Up, also called heart-ease, produces ¾-inch dark purple and yellow flowers on compact, mounded plants. It flowers early in spring and readily reseeds where established.
The packet contains 50 Viola tricolor seeds. Sow on the soil surface and lightly cover; germination takes 7–14 days at 65–70°F. Start indoors 8–12 weeks before the last frost or sow outdoors in early spring or late summer through autumn in mild-winter areas.
