What flower is called Johnny-Jump-Ups ???
Johnny Jump Ups are a popular viola. They are called "old fashioned" favorites. These perennials are often grown as an annual, especially in northern parts of the country.





Johnny Jump Ups are native to Spain and the Pyrennes Mountains. Easy to grow, you may find them growing in the wild in fields, and along the road.





Small plants produce a wealth of dainty, fragrant blooms. Johnny Jump Up blooms are a combination of bright yellow and deep purple. They bloom early in the season.





Johnny Jump Up are popular, easy, and fun to grow. Fill an area or entire bed with Johnny Jump Up for a striking effect! They also are great in windowsills and containers.
