I�ve grown Johnny Jump Ups before, but these heirloom seeds were exceptional. The blooms are cheerful and lasted longer than I anticipated. Great for bouquets too.
It took a while for most seeds to sprout, but once they did, the flowers were vibrant and healthy. Worth the wait for sure.
These violas do wonderfully in pots on my balcony. They don�t need much attention and bloom continuously. I�ll be ordering more next season.
These tiny violas turned out better than I expected! The colors are vivid and they attract pollinators, which is a bonus. They are perfect for window boxes.
Half of my seeds sprouted quickly, while the rest took a bit longer. Once established, the flowers were delightful and brightened up my garden nicely.
