Growing Guide:
- Planting Time: Sow seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors in late spring after the last frost. Violas can also be sown in late summer for autumn blooms.
- Soil Preference: Grow in well-draining, fertile soil with good moisture retention. Violas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
- Sunlight: Plant in full sun to partial shade. Violas appreciate cooler temperatures and thrive in locations that get morning sun and afternoon shade.
- Spacing: Space plants 6-8 inches apart to ensure they have room to spread and fill out.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Regular watering helps maintain the vibrant colour and lushness of the blooms.
Harvest ‘Viola Joker’ flowers when they are fully open, and use them fresh in salads, desserts, or as beautiful edible garnishes.
With its bright colours and mild, sweet flavour, ‘Viola Joker’ brings a touch of elegance and whimsy to your dishes, making it a perfect choice for those looking to add both visual appeal and a hint of natural sweetness to their food.
What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
