Jump-Up The non-native (European) Johnny Jump-Up is uncommon in our area. It prefers full or partial sun and moist to slightly moist soil. Habitats include gravelly areas along the foundations of buildings, vacant lots, and waste areas. It is an annual or biennial, only 5-14" tall, erect to sprawling and branched. Its stems are light green to purplish green and angular with alternate lance-shaped leaves ¾-1½" long. The occasional flowers are produced from the leaf axils on long ascending pedicels with nodding tips. Each flower is ¾-1¼" across, consisting of 4 widely spreading blue-violet or purple petals and a lower mostly yellow petal.
