Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

How do you care for Cool Wave pansies?

Is there a trailing viola?

Violas are remarkably versatile plants and suit a range of garden situations. They are typically lower growing than pansies, with smaller, more abundant flowers. Many violas form a trailing habit and look fabulous in a hanging basket, patio pot or window box.

Do violas come back every year?

Perennial violas look a lot like their cousins, pansies. But, perennial violas offer the benefit of coming back year after year, adding early-season color to the garden, as well as lots of curb appeal first thing in the season when relatively few other plants bloom.

Do viola plants spread?
