Grow Arkwright Ruby Viola from fresh Viola cornuta flower seeds. Arkwright Ruby produces beautiful red blooms, accented with a bright yellow center and deep purple colored petals. These beauties only grow to a height of roughly 6 to 8 inches tall and can spread out about 6 inches or so. The plants don't mind being a bit crowded, making them perfect for window boxes, pots and containers. You can also use them directly in the garden in flower beds, along borders or in shady areas of the yard. Arkwright Ruby Viola is technically categorized as a tender perennial, meaning it will establish a deep root system. It will wilt with the first killing frost, only to return the following growing season from it's deeply established roots. If temperatures are too harsh, the plants may not return however. Arkwright Ruby Viola will grow best in cooler temperatures, flowering for most of the growing season. Seeds of the Arkwright Ruby Viola can be collected, stored and sown the following growing season to establish new plants as well. This popular Viola plant can attract an array of beneficial insects, such as butterflies, bumblebees, ladybugs and hummingbirds as well. They are a perfect match with many other violas and pansies, and can be paired with the Blackjack Viola or the Johnny Jump Up.
