Viola Calare 
Very few plants have as long a flowering period as the Viola, 
for they are in full bloom from March until late October. They 
succeed best in deep, well-enriched, well-drained soil. Heavy 
soils should be lightened by adding sand and wood ashes. A 
light sprinkle of commercial fertilizer or a little rotted cow 
manure worked in around the plants each month, plus deep 
irrigation during the hot months, are the secrets of perfect 
blooms. Set the plants deep so the roots will be in a cooler moist 
place than near the surface. They seem to prefer a light shade 
during the hottest part of the day. Do not allow to go to seed 
and keep the long runners cut back to encourage new growth. 
Violas do well for three or four years without dividing and are 
best moved during early Spring.
