PURPLE JOHNNY JUMP UP
Viola 'Purple' is a quintessential garden favorite, offering some of the most intense and regal pigments found in the plant world. These varieties range from a deep, velvety royal purple to bright violet and soft lavender, often featuring a contrasting bright yellow center or dark, delicate "whiskers" emanating from the throat. Because purple is on the cooler end of the color spectrum, these violas are excellent for creating a sense of depth in a landscape or providing a rich backdrop that makes lighter-colored neighbors pop.
To ensure a lush display, violas should be planted in moist, fertile soil in a location with full sun to partial shade. While they are quite resilient and cold-hardy, the dark purple petals can absorb a significant amount of heat, so providing some afternoon shade in warmer regions will help prevent the color from flagging. Consistent watering is essential - keep the soil damp to the touch but avoid letting it become waterlogged. Regularly removing spent flowers will prevent the plant from going to seed, ensuring that it stays focused on producing those deep, royal-hued blooms well into the season.
