New! Old-fashioned mix with vigorous plants.
Cheerful, 2 1/2–3 1/2″ bicolor blooms in shades of gold, purple, plum, lavender, rose, and white. Mildly fragrant blooms. We found Aalsmeer King Size Mix to be one of the fastest varieties to reach a height tall enough for cutting in our overwintered trials. In our unheated tunnel (Zone 5), it yielded 16–22″ long stems that are perfect for mixing with tulips and daffodils in early spring bouquets. Also known as pansy, Johnny jump-up, European field pansy, heart’s ease, and hybrid violet.
Edible Flowers: Decorative and edible garnish for salads and desserts with slight wintergreen flavor. While a popular choice for brightening up salad mix, the flowers are also good for candying.

Edible flowers and cut flowers.Select varieties (see variety descriptions) are suitable for cut flowers under the following conditions; grown from a very early spring planting or an overwintered planting so that well-established plants are coming into flower during the long days and warm temperature of spring and early summer. Long days and warm temperature cause the elongation of stems and profuse flowering that is required for quality cut flower viola. For compact bedding plants, grow seedlings and young plants at cool temperatures and high light levels to minimize stretching. |
