Though its blossoms are smaller than its cousin, the pansy, Johnny Jump Up is just as cheerful in a sunny or partly shady bed. Its many tiny flower heads offer bright shades of purple and yellow. Pretty in the front of a mixed border or in an edging along walkways. For spot color on a patio or in a courtyard, try Johnny Jump Up in a container where it makes the perfect companion for Alyssum, Carpet of Snow (Lobularia maritima).
