Johnny Jump Up

The Heartsease Heirloom: Tiny, Tough, and Timeless

Edible Flower

A Miniature Masterpiece

The **Johnny Jump Up** is an ancient European wildflower that has been a staple of the "Heartsease" garden for centuries. These dainty blooms feature a tri-color pattern of purple, yellow, and cream, creating the appearance of a tiny, smiling face.

At **Heirlooms & Hybrids**, we value this variety for its incredible performance—it is one of the few flowers that can bloom in early spring, disappear in the summer heat, and "jump up" again for a second show in the fall.
