Plant Care Basics
Contents
1 Grow Zone Recommendation: Violets are perennials that grow in USDA agriculture zones 2 to 11.
2 Sunlight Needs: Violets are pretty versatile, growing well in partial sun, sun, or even shade.
3 Watering Needs: Violets will need to be kept somewhat moist during germination and until established. After that, they’ll require occasional watering throughout the growing season.
4 Average Size: Violets are usually small, from under 6 inches to no more than 12 inches tall, but usually less than that. They can grow 6 inches in width to indefinitely wide as a ground cover, depending on the variety and conditions.
5 Foliage Color: Foliage is usually a chartreuse-gold, with flowers that come in pink, white, red, orange/yellow, or blue/purple. Some varieties of flowers will feature more than one color.
6 Must Know Plant Care Tips: Violets will grow in sun but do prefer light shade, and will require less water when planted there. They are good self-seeders, but are not particularly invasive, unless they’re the wild violet variety.
7 Plant Problem Solver: Violets make great bedding plants or ground cover, and also do well in containers and window boxes. They can even thrive in rock gardens with adequate moisture. They are deer resistant and make lovely, fragrant cut flowers. If you like, cut the flower stalks back once the blooms are spent to alleviate the self-seeding. You can also collect the seeds and sow them in the fall indoors, or outdoors in a cold frame. In dry weather, the foliage may sometimes be prone to spider mites.
8 Pretty Pairings: Try planting violets with pansies, petunias, and snap dragons.
