Sorry, where is my head...pansies!

​@@trudiehudson7973 LOL! I've been known to lose my head like this, too! That said, an arrangement of little violets would also be beautiful! 😃

Or some Johnny Jump ups @fiberJazz...:)

@@handsewsimple 😊🙃😊

Thank you KH! And I have Sarah Homfray Creates to...:)

I have to ask.. what on earth is a Johnny jump up? 😂

@@goodwifelucy5602 Hi, and thanks for your question! Johnny Jump Ups are a relative of the Pansy, but smaller in size and produce many more flowers per plant. They are also easier to care for than are Pansies, being particularly heat tolerant. They are pretty, delicate little flowers with the cheery yellow and purple face for which Pansies are noted. They are sun-loving, although will also thrive with partial sun. And - for a fun fact - they are edible. As a food source, they are often added to salads, frozen in ice cubes to add a fancy touch to cold beverages, and candied and used as cake decorations. Johnny Jumps are hardy in USDA Zones 3-9. In the warmer zones within this range, they are grown as annuals; in the cooler zones, they are grown mostly as biennials. I'm afraid I don't know much about their hardiness outside of the US.

@@fiberjazz I think that you're describing what we call violas? Basically miniature pansies..a closer relation to the wild version which are the darkest purple. I once saw a lawn full of tiny dark, dark purple violas❤️ I have tried to recreate it in several gardens without success 😔 and yes, sugared they're stunning on a Victoria sponge 😁

@@goodwifelucy5602 Oh, you may be right! It is quite possible that "Johnny Jump Ups" is a regional name for what you know as violas. I'll need to ask about that the next time I'm at the nursery. In the meantime, you have me salivating for a nice Victoria sponge! 😄

@@fiberjazz hee hee😉 I like mine with a nice cup of tea please! Yes, that's what I'm assuming, that it's a regional difference. Johnny jump up sounds very American? Am I right? I'm English Although you describe them in only one colour -way, which makes me wonder as the cultivated varieties we have come in as many colours as pansies do. Although this year I did find some a bit different that could be closer to your description? They were being sold as trailing so I've put them in my bedroom window boxes,a bushier form & certainly some trailing but only in purple and a yellow pale enough to almost be cream. I am curious to know because I have noticed that Americans seem to use branded items more than we do and at first I thought of my little trailing violas in the window boxes and wondered if it was the name of a cultivar, but it was repeated in several comments in a way that made me think it might just be a colloquial term after all 🙂 in England we grow pansies/ violas all year round. Some will be sold for summer bedding and some are forced for winter, which is when I put them in all the pots and window boxes. Usually they're scrubbed up and replaced at the end of each season but I quite often let mine carry on getting scraggier until usually a slug wipes them out. So long as they're continually deadheaded they just keep on flowering. I'm in the mild and damp southwest where we can grow pretty much anything, the coastal towns often grow palm trees trying look like they're somewhere more glamorous 😂 But as far as I know pansies are easily grown everywhere in the British isles and usually as winter bedding, very popular in municipal park beds. Look forward to hearing what your nurseryman can tell you,best wishes x

I bought it off the internet!
