Viola tricolor
Heartsease, also known as Wild Pansy or Johnny Jump-Up, is a charming, generously flowering plant producing masses of small tri-coloured blooms, typically combining violet, yellow and cream. Growing to approximately 20 cm tall, the compact plants bring cheerful colour to cottage gardens, borders, containers and beneath taller plants.
The dainty flowers have a long history in European gardens and are also edible, making a beautiful garnish for cakes, salads, desserts and drinks. Left in the garden, they provide a useful source of food for bees and other pollinating insects.
Hardy and easy to grow, Heartsease performs particularly well during the cooler months and tolerates both full sun and partial shade. In favourable conditions it will readily self-seed, appearing again in unexpected corners of the garden.
