FAQs
Can I grow these indoors?
Violas are outdoor bedding plants and require the natural airflow and light conditions found outside to thrive.
How far apart should I plant them?
Space them approximately 20cm apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
Do I need to fertilize my Violas?
While not strictly necessary, a liquid fertilizer applied every 3-4 weeks during the flowering season will encourage more blooms.
Are these plants perennial?
These are treated as hardy annuals, meaning they will provide a full season of color but will typically need to be replaced the following year.
How often should I water them?
Check the soil daily; if the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Troubleshooting
Plants are wilting despite moist soil
Check for drainage issues; if the soil is waterlogged, the roots may be rotting. Ensure the container has adequate drainage holes.
Lack of new flower buds
This is often caused by a lack of deadheading or insufficient light. Ensure they receive at least partial sun and remove all spent blooms.
Plants are becoming 'leggy'
Leggy growth usually indicates the plant is searching for more light. Move the plants to a sunnier location.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Violas thrive, start by selecting a location with well-draining soil. If planting in pots, use a high-quality multipurpose compost to ensure nutrients are available.
- Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball.
- Gently place the plant and firm the soil around the roots.
- Water thoroughly immediately after planting.
For care, aim to keep the soil consistently damp. If you notice spent flowers, pinch or snip them off at the stem base; this prevents the plant from setting seed and redirects energy back into producing new buds. Fertilizing lightly with a general-purpose liquid feed once every few weeks can also help extend the flowering season.
