Description

(Viola cornuta). A dainty and delightful pansy with starkly contrasted, bicolored petals in ranges of lemon yellow and plum purple. These cold-hardy plants reach just 8 inches tall, making them an ideal choice for containers, hanging baskets, beds, borders, and more.

Growing Tips: Floral Days Morning Dew violas thrive in cool weather and rich, well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages long-lasting blooms. These violas are perfect for containers, edging, and early-season color in garden beds. Protect from hot afternoon sun and water consistently. A light layer of mulch can help retain soil moisture and extend the bloom season in fluctuating climates.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before your last expected spring frost or sow directly outdoors in late summer for fall planting in mild zones. Harden off seedlings before transplanting. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in moist, sterile seed-starting mix. Keep soil moist at 60–65°F. Transplant outdoors when seedlings are strong and weather conditions are favorable.

How to Grow

Provide full morning sun and afternoon shade to avoid overheating. Keep soil evenly moist and fertilize every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Deadhead regularly to encourage new blooms. In frost-free areas, violas may bloom throughout fall and winter with light mulching

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow a few flowers to mature fully and develop seed pods
  • Wait until pods dry and begin to split, then collect
  • Remove seeds and let them air-dry thoroughly
  • Store in a cool, dry, dark location in a labeled paper envelope
  • Use fresh seeds within one to two years for best viability

FAQ

Are Floral Days Morning Dew violas good for overwintering?

Yes, in Zones 6–9, they can overwinter with light mulch. In colder zones, they’re best treated as annuals unless protected in cold frames or insulated containers.

Will the flowers fade in full sun?

While they tolerate morning sun, strong afternoon sun can fade blooms or stress the plant. For best performance, provide filtered light or partial afternoon shade in warmer climates.

Can I grow Floral Days Morning Dew violas indoors?

They can be grown indoors with bright, indirect light and cool temperatures, but they perform best outdoors in containers or beds where they receive natural light and seasonal cues.
