"I grew these in soil that had the remnants of tulip bulbs. They did really well and didn't take long to get going. I moved them to this cute little birdhouse and they just sprouted out of all the open spaces. It was a nice effect. They vary in size and shape and even have some slight color differences. Some have more purple, others have more yellow, etc. I would definitely buy these again."

So Cute!,

"I know this will sound silly, but these flowers cheered me up every time I'd look at them. They look like they have faces with their own little personalities. I tried these and some vincas as my first experience with flower gardening, and I was impressed with the violas. They were easy to maintain, and they produced many more blooms than I expected them to. I used plastic, small-sized flower pots for them, and I would definitely recommend them to an apartment gardener like myself."

"I love these flowers! They have a delicate sweet fragrance, and do very well in hanging baskets.
The flowers are delicate and very abundant... much much more abundant than pansies, and the overall shape of the plant is pleasing to the eye and delicate.
I like pansies for cold weather color, but you can't beat violas as an excellent alternative - you don't see them as often and the flowers hold their shape well.
These plants flowered well into the hot summer months. Just be sure to keep them pruned somewhat - they get a little "leggy" if you leave them to do what they please. They flower better too with a little trim."
