How to plant Viola
Amend the planting area with plenty of organic matter and mix in thoroughly to the existing soil.
How to care for Viola
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry between applications. Remove or deadhead spent flowers to promote further blooming. To neaten overgrown and congested plants you may wish to cut back, so they are 8-10cm (3-4in) above soil level. In summer, mulch to keep the soil moist and cool.
