Johnny Jump-up (Viola cornuta) - These are such delightful little flowers that bring charm and grace to any summer landscape. They grow very easily from Viola seeds, and once established will even self-sow. They are not invasive just delightful! Johnny Jump Up wildflowers have been around for centuries and are native to the mountains of Spain and France. They are found growing in many temperate regions of the world, and they are widely admired for their bright little faces. Other common names you may have heard for this flower are Wild Pansy and Heartsease. Since they are cool weather flowers, Johnny Jump Up wildflowers will bloom in the spring, fade during the heat of summer, and will often return with a new flush of flowers in the fall.
Common Questions
Are pansies edible?

Why do my pansies stop blooming in the summer?
Hot weather will cause pansies to fade and die out.
Why are my pansies spindly?
Check to see if your plants are overcrowded, pansies need to be spaced 6 inches apart. Make sure they are getting enough light especially when starting seeds inside.
Should pansies be deadheaded?
Yes, to encourage a longer bloom season you will need to deadhead your flowers. This will also keep the flowers from dropping seeds.
When do pansies bloom?
Pansies bloom in the fall and in spring into early summer when the weather is cool.
Do pansies grow better in containers or in the ground?
Pansies flourish in both pots and raised beds. Because they have shallow roots, it's important not to plant them too deeply in dense soil. Always opt for well-draining soil for beds and a light potting mix for containers, ensuring that the containers also have drainage holes.
