HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in spring, planting just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 1-2 weeks. This Viola Tricolor plant can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Control weeds, since this plant does not do well with competition. Mature plants do fairly well in drought, though they adapt to well-drained moist soil. These plants also have excellent resistance to both heat and cold. It also grows well in rocky or sandy soil. This plant readily reseeds itself.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, oval pods will begin to develop. When ripe, each pod will split open into three sections that hold the ripe seeds. Remove the Johnny Jump-Up flower seeds. Since they lose their viability quickly, planting immediately will result in the best germination. If storing is necessary, keep the Viola Tricolor seed in the refrigerator until planting.

I direct sowed my seeds last spring, was able to get blooms before the heat of the summer and now am seeing them in their second year. It's so lovely to see the little viola faces shining up at you in the spring, they even cross pollinated with some other violas near by, creating new colours for this years garden!
