How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water violas well until plants are established. Do not let violas dry out; they do best with regular water.
Pruning
Deadhead blooms often to encourage fresh blooms. Cut back violas in the fall to reinvigorate the plant and encourage fall blooming.
Fertilizer
Violas benefit from a light dose of organic fertilizer each month during the growing season. Use a slow-release fertilizer into the soil. Fertilize in the spring and again in late summer to promote a fall bloom.
