Notes

'Penny Peach Jump-up' viola (Viola cornuta 'Penny Peach Jump-up') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy annuals and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant violet, lavender, and peach blooms keep coming all season long and attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Foam flower, Japanese forest grass, and Autumn fern.
