Viola - Mixed - Viola cornuta - Vibrant colour for any bed - Fresh Seeds

Viola mixed (Viola cornuta) is a compact perennial that brings impressive colour and gentle charm to beds and containers. It forms neat, low clumps of around 15 cm, covered with delicate flowers in white, yellow, orange, pink, red, blue, and violet. With so many shades flowering together, the overall effect is bright and full of character, adding colour to gardens, rockeries, pots, and planters.

This mix includes carefully selected varieties chosen for decorative, varied displays. With long, abundant flowering from spring through to late autumn, viola stays attractive for months. It works well as a colourful edging plant and is equally suited to containers, pots, and balcony boxes. It is hardy, rewarding, and easy to look after.

Sowing depth

Sow seeds at a depth of about 0.5 cm. This helps provide the right balance of moisture and light for quick, even emergence.

Sowing time outdoors

The best time to sow outdoors is October to November. Autumn sowing allows young plants to establish well before winter, helping them start into strong growth in spring.

Sowing time under cover

Sow under cover from May to July. This method helps produce healthy, robust seedlings that develop into strong, flowering plants after transplanting.

Planting time

Plant out seedlings in July or August, choosing a sunny spot or light shade. A well chosen position supports strong flowering and helps the plants remain long lived.

Spacing

Space plants 20 x 20 cm apart. This gives them room to spread into dense, colourful clumps that fill beds and containers beautifully.

Flowering time

Viola flowers reliably from April to October. Over this period, it brings a rich range of colour and a subtle fragrance that makes any planted area more inviting.

Growing

Viola grows best in fertile, free draining soil that stays moderately moist. It prefers sun but also copes well with light shade. It is hardy and easy to care for, regular watering and removing faded flowers help keep it looking its best for longer. It is equally suitable for garden planting and for growing in containers.
