Violets are absolutely inconspicuous - at least when they are not in bloom. Consequently, the flower is of particularly great importance. Only through them do the plants shine, become a feast for the eyes and not only delight hobby gardeners. But when exactly is their heyday? Is there a single time at all? And what can you actually do when viola, as it is called correctly, is not blooming at all? You can find answers to these questions here.
variety of species
The violet family has an extremely large variety of species. The violas alone as a member of this plant family include about 500 to 550 species. You don't know for sure, because every now and then a new species is found. This enormous diversity sometimes leads to quite serious differences in the family. And that in turn means that violets do not have a fixed, general flowering time, but rather bloom at different times throughout the year from species to species.

So if you want to know when exactly a viola will bloom, you should first know what kind you have in the garden or in the flower pot. Fortunately, not all of the almost 550 species can be found here. The most important and in our latitudes the most common species unfold their flowers at the following times:
- Sweet violets: from March to April
- Horned violets: from May to September
- Garden violets and garden pansies: from April to October
- Grove violet: from April to June
- Moor Violet: from May to June
- Parma Violet: from March to May
- Whitsun violets: from May to June
- Marsh Violet: from April to June
- Wild pansies: from May to September
Incidentally, the different flowering times offer the hobby gardener a great advantage. By cleverly combining several of these species in the garden, the flowering and thus the joy of the flowers can be significantly extended.
No flowers?
Violets are pronounced blooming Plant. If they absolutely do not want to flower, there must be obstacles that prevent them from doing so. Then it is highly advisable to put the location, the soil and, above all, the care to the test. If these do not meet the needs of the violas, they will not develop their blossoms at all or not to the full extent. If you want to make them bloom, the best thing to do is to take the following measures, depending on the situation:
- Check location and change if necessary
- Increase humidity and keep it constantly high
- add an acidic component to the soil
- reduce the watering a bit
- Add energy through fertilizer
- When repotting, do not use a planter that is too large
- be sure to give it a hibernation

Diseases or infestation with pests can also be the reason why Viola does not bloom. Aphids, mealybugs, mealybugs, spider mites and fungal infections in particular can become a problem. Regular inspection of the plants is therefore extremely important. If you discover lice or mites on the leaves and in the case of serious leaf changes, it is best to get suitable tools from specialist shops.
