Violas are such relied upon stalwarts that many gardeners take them for granted. Violas are easy care plants which can be started inside and moved outdoors as spring warms up. Newer varieties of violas are being introduced with bolder colors and larger flowers that bloom longer. Violas are primarily cool season bloomers. They are perfect for starting and ending the season in British Columbia (and Alberta too - don't want to leave out our cowboy/girl friends!)
