King Henry Horned Violet Seeds

Make way for a true garden royalKing Henry Horned Violet brings rich, velvety color and cool-season charm to flower beds, borders, and containers. With deep violet petals and sunny golden centers, these petite blooms appear in abundance on compact, low-growing plants, offering a regal splash of color when many other flowers are still waking up.

A member of the viola family, King Henry is a horned violetnamed for the delicate, curved spur extending from the back of each bloom. With a spreading, mat-forming habit, its perfect for edging walkways, tucking into rock gardens, filling window boxes, or creating a carpet of color beneath spring bulbs. Each plant grows just 46 inches tall, making it a lovely ground-hugging option with a surprisingly bold presence.

This cool-season tender perennial thrives in spring and fall, blooming best in cooler temperatures. It performs beautifully in full sun to part shade, and prefers moist, well-drained soil. In areas with mild winters, it may overwinter and bloom again the following season, but treat it as an annual in zones below 6. Whether used as a cheerful border or a trailing accent in containers, King Henry Horned Violet is a little flower with big personality.
