Thinking they’d be super tough. honestly They survived, barely, no kidding but alright they didn’t really thrive, you so know? Barely any blooms until like, okay May like the no way next year. So, master from my honestly mistake – get them in the ground right early enough for their bet roots to take hold before the ground freezes. mull over September or early October if honestly you can. Just saying.

Spring? Still ok...ish

Spring planting works sorta too. But, if you wait actually too long – like until honestly it's actually warm-warm – uh they’ll probably just peter out once summer hits.

My First Viola Adventure

Oh! I totally have a story about my first time planting totally violas. I was so excited, and I bought like, for sure a whole flat of them. Put them in a by the way container on basically my porch. like Looked amazing… for about no way a week. Then they started sorta to look… sad. Like, droopy and yellow-y sorta sad. I mean I was watering them like crazy, but it wasn’t helping.

Turns out, I hadn’t put drainage holes in the container! I uh was basically drowning them. I felt like such an idiot. Live and learn, right?

Anyway, yeah. no kidding Drainage is key! Especially in containers. totally

Sun or Shade? like That is the yup Question

They like sun, violas do. But not blasting so sun. Especially in the spring, give them actually morning sun and afternoon I mean shade. That’s ideal. In the fall and winter, more sun is fine since it's less intense. Location, location, no way location!

So basically, whenever you plant them, make sure they have I mean decent drainage and some sun. And don’t be like me and forget the drainage holes! I’m still a little embarrassed about that one. But hey, now dude you know a thing or two uh about when do you plant you know violas and my plant murdering abilities.
