Horny violet - extend flowering time
They are small, delicate, more or less fragrant and their colors provide a variety of accents in the bed. We are talking about the flowers of horned violets. From when to when hornbills bloom and how to extend the flowering skill, you will learn below.
Flowering period: From April to October
Depending on the variety, horned flowers bloom for an extremely long time. The main flower covers the period between April and June. In autumn, it may come to a re-flowering. Most varieties can flower from May to September. Other varieties bloom from April and fall into October. These include, for example, the varieties 'Molly Sanderson' and 'Alba Minor'.
Extend the flowering time cleverly

Other factors that help to extend the flowering period are:
The difference between seed-propagated and pectin-propagated varieties
Common hornbeams are known to be extremely persistent. However, seed-propagated varieties flower rich but are less perennial. By contrast, pea-cultured varieties are much more enduring in terms of flowering time. Therefore, consider what is more important to you: many flowers or a long flowering period.
Tips & Tricks
Plant horned violets next to early flowering plants. They complement each other in their heyday. When the early bloomers leave in April, the hornbeams start to bloom.
