Johnny-Jump-Up Viola:
The Viola Johnny-Jump-Up, 'Viola tricolor', are very cheery flowers that you can eat. Nothing, we repeat nothing, is as charming as a patch of Johnny Jump Ups poking their heads above the snow. This Viola exhibits 3/4 inch purple and yellow flowers. Violas bloom best during cool weather and in cold climates, this means spring through early summer and fall. In warm climates, this means winter, spring and fall. They look great planted in mass as a ground cover and with bulbs. The edible flowers can be used for salads and other dishes.
