Viola ‘Painted Porcelain’


Perennial Pansy

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.545.840


Also called Violas or Violettas, these are related to garden pansies, but usually propagated by division or cuttings rather than by seed. Generally more tolerant of summer heat and a little hardier than their large-flowered cousins. These are versatile plants, useful for edging, in the rock garden, and especially in containers or window boxes. Superb companions to spring-flowering bulbs. This selection has soft mauve-lilac flowers with contrasting violet-purple whiskers and a tiny yellow eye. Trim plants back in June to rejuvenate the foliage. Divide every two years in early autumn.
