Viola tricolor Twilight
Johnny Jump-Up |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.550.270
(='Cuty') Usually treated as bedding annuals, Johnny Jump-ups will overwinter, or at least self-seed each year. This selection has miniature pansy flowers in an attractive combination of deep blue and cream, with a tiny yellow eye. Terrific plants for edging, in the border or woodland, and in containers and tubs. These benefit from a light trimming in June, to encourage new growth for a fall display. Sometimes these will flower all winter in climates with mild weather.
