Commonly Asked Questions
Do violas come back each year?
Violas can be both perennial and annual. For perennial growth, plant them in a spot with some sun, but avoid too much direct summer sun as it may dry them out. Regular deadheading and seasonal cutback will encourage re-blooming.
Are violas perennials or annuals?
Violas are traditionally perennial, but they often struggle with intense summer heat, leading many gardeners to treat them as annuals, replacing them each year. They thrive in both spring and fall blooms.
Do violas survive winter?
Yes, Violas are hardy plants that can survive winter. Ingenious breeding has produced varieties that bloom in various colours, from deep purples to vibrant yellows, and withstand harsh winter conditions.
Are pansies and violas the same?
No, they are different. Pansies have four petals pointing upward and one downward, while Violas have two petals upward and three downward. Violas also tend to be smaller yet bloom more abundantly than pansies.
Do I need to deadhead violas?
Yes, frequent deadheading is recommended to keep your Violas looking their best. Doing this at least once a week will encourage continual blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
