Are violas affected by the wind?


Our Advice:

Violas can be sensitive to strong winds, which can cause the flowers and leaves to become damaged or broken. To protect your violas from the wind, consider planting them in a sheltered spot, such as near a fence or wall, or using a windbreak such as a row of shrubs or a garden screen.
