Gem White Viola Plants
These perky little gems look like they have lil kitty whiskers and we want to adopt them all. Pro tip: Pop these pops of bold, bright white in your garden or a mixed container with all your many-colored flowers. Poof! Like magic, every tone and shade is amplified. Seriously. White flowers = Instant glow up. Try it.
Don't under-estimate these stout, fluttery little friends. They are tough as old boots. Frost tolerant, heat tolerant, smell wonderful, and can even take a trampling. They are the go-to flower for when its too early or too late in the season for all other outdoor flowers, and we are their biggest fans.
Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5" diameter pots.

How to Plant | Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water |
Where to Plant | Find a place in the sun or part shade, with well-draining soil |
When to Plant | Plant outside in the spring, after your last frost. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon |
When to Expect Blooms | Blooms from early spring through early winter. They may stop blooming to preserve energy during the hottest weeks of summer |
Care Instructions | Water regularly. Deadhead to encourage more blooms and for a tidier look |
Extra Credit | Petals are edible and delicious when candied |
