Species and varieties: The purple tricolor wavy viola, also known as Viola tricolor, is a species of flowering plant in the violet family Violaceae. It is commonly referred to as heartsease, heart's ease, heart's delight, tickle-my-fancy, Jack-jump-up-and-kiss-me, come-and-cuddle-me, three faces in a hood, or love-in-idleness. This variety is known for its striking purple, white, and yellow petals with a wavy texture.
Hybrid or heirloom: The purple tricolor wavy viola can be found in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as color, size, and disease resistance.
Pruning and training: Pruning is not typically necessary for violas, but deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming. Pinching back the stems can promote bushier growth and prevent legginess.
Fertilization needs: Violas benefit from a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied at planting time and then monthly throughout the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Hardiness zones: Viola tricolor is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3-9. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures but prefers cooler climates.
Climate requirements: This seed thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. It can tolerate light frost and is often grown as a cool-season annual in warmer climates. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods.
