FAQ about Violet – Red

What kind of soil suits violets best?
Violets thrive in well-drained, humus-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. The soil should be moisture-retentive but not wet, so add compost or well-rotted manure to improve the structure. Avoid heavy clay that waterlogs.
How often should violets be watered?
Keep the soil evenly moist, especially in dry spells. Check with your finger, as the soil should feel slightly moist a few centimetres down. Water in the morning and keep the leaves dry to reduce the risk of fungal disease.
Do violets need pruning?
Violets need no real pruning, but deadheading prolongs flowering. If you want the plant to spread, leave some flowers to set seed. Runners can be cut off if the plant spreads too much.
Which pests and diseases can affect violets?
Aphids and red spider mite can attack in warm, dry weather, and slugs like the leaves. Grey mould and leaf spot can occur in high humidity and poor air circulation, so keep the leaves dry and give the plants space.
Are violets hardy?
Most garden violets, such as the sweet violet, are hardy perennials that need no winter protection and come back every spring. Plants in pots should be protected from hard frost or moved to a sheltered spot.
