Helen MountThe Johnny Jump Up is a perennial plant with edible, tricolor flowers that are white, yellow, and purple. With cheery purple, yellow, and white faces, this charming wildflower looks a mini version of the pansy. This petite beauty often reseeds itself and springs up voluntarily year after year.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors. Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, oval pods will begin to develop. When ripe, each pod will split open into three sections that hold the ripe seeds. Remove the Johnny Jump-Up flower seeds. Since they lose their viability quickly, planting immediately will result in the best germination. If storing is necessary, keep the Viola Tricolor seed in the refrigerator until planting. Notes:

The FDL Seed Library is a collection of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds that you can borrow to plant and grow at home. By saving seeds as a community we help create local seed stocks that are better acclimated to our climate and which support an abundant and genetically diverse landscape.
We ask that seeds are “returned” by harvesting seeds from a plant or two that you grow. Donated seeds will help to add diversity to our collection. Archives
