<\/span>Caring For Horned Violet<\/span><\/h2>\nHorned violet, at 20 to 30 inches tall, is more dainty and smaller compared to pansies, their relatives.

Regular cleaning out of wilted inflorescences prolongs the flowering phase because the plant does not put energy into seed formation.<\/p>\n
Once the flowering phase is over, pruning supports the second flowering of your horned violet in autumn and bushy growth. This is done by cutting the plant back in half.
