With a multitude of vivid and cheery flowers, Johnny Jump-Up thrives in cool, sunny or partly shady locations.  The small flowers are bright tricolor shades of purple, yellow, and white. Native to Europe, these are the original wild pansies and spread easily by self sowing. They are more heat tolerant than pansies.
Pretty in the front of a mixed border or as an edging along walkways. Johnny Jump-Up is great in containers too, where it makes the perfect companion for Sweet Alyssum Carpet of Snow (Lobularia maritima). Flowers have a light scent.
