Viola 'Cat's Whiskers'
Violet (Viola 'Cat's Whiskers') is too cute to pass up. This low-growing, spreading plant gives rise to delicate bluish-purple flowers with yellow centers atop lush, evergreen foliage. Violet blooms reliably in the spring and thrives in any well-drained, sunny or partially shaded spot in the garden, tolerating drought and occasional flooding. With minimal maintenance, it produces an abundant crop of lovely flowers for weeks, adding color and texture to the landscape. Its showy flowers make it a great choice for sunny gardens, borders, pathways, and containers.

watering
Violet (Viola 'Cat's Whiskers') plants should be watered as soon as the top 2 inches of soil becomes dry. This should be done every week or 2, depending on the local conditions. During the summer months, you may need to water more frequently, as the plant will require additional moisture due to higher temperatures. When watering, ensure that the soil is thoroughly moistened - it is also important not to overwater as this can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Violet (Viola 'Cat's Whiskers') plants prefer bright, indirect light. When placed in a windowsill in a south or west facing window, the plant will receive mostly indirect light. During the summer months, providing direct sunlight for 2 to 4 hours per day is beneficial. In the winter months, the plant may need more direct sunlight for at least 4 hours per day. With too much direct sunlight, the leaves may become scorched.
pruning
When it comes to pruning violets, the best time to do so is early in the growing season (spring or fall). This will enable the plant to focus its energy on entering into a state of new growth. As for how much to prune, it's best to be conservative. Cut back only the longest and weakest stems, as well as any spent blooms and foliage. Aim to prune no more than a third of the stems in total, and avoid over-pruning, as it can cause damage and weaken the plant.
