Prefers well drained, yet moist, position in full or part shade. Can cope with full sun in cooler regions. Violets can be used in baskets, containers or as an understory planting as they will form a compact dense ground cover with the right amount of shelter and water. Performs best if regularly fertilised. Deadhead to prolong flowering.
