QUICKTIME Blue Viola
These violas (or Johnny Jump-ups) love the cooler weather of spring and autumn. QUICKTIME violas are free flowering and mounded plants that quickly grow to 6 inches tall and wide in the spring and are covered with small pansy like flowers.
Uniform blue petals surround the darker halo encasing the yellow eye. This viola flowers up to two weeks earlier than other cultivars with a heavier production of flowers. Plant in full sun, well drained soils, water if dry periods are encountered and provide moderate, balanced, fertilization throughout the spring and again in fall. Attracts pollinating insects to the garden.
