When Do Viola Bloom in Rhode Island?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when Viola will bloom: where your Viola are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Viola Are Planted!!!
When your Viola will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a viola is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a viola is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a viola is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
