Your eyes sparkle with joy when you discover the violet-blue blossoms of the violets in spring. If you don't just want to see them in the wild, but also want to have them in your own garden, you should plant them in the right place.
Violets like it warm and sunny
In a bright and warm place - like in paradise
Viola prefers to grow in warm places where it is not exposed to full sun. Half-shady locations are ideal. A sunny location can also be considered, as long as there is no heat there in summer.
All violet species have similar soil requirements. If these are met, the maintenance effort is reduced. The following aspects have an advantageous effect:
- good drainage
- loamy to loamy-sandy texture
- high humus content
- medium to high nutrient content
tips and tricks
If violets are in a cool place in the semi-shade, their flowers will last longer than in the sun.
