Viola ‘Purple Showers’
Perennial Pansy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.545.360
Also known as Winter Pansies, these are hardier than regular bedding pansies, tolerating more winter cold and summer heat. Plants form a low, bushy mound of bright green leaves, with loads of fragrant miniature pansy flowers from early spring to late fall, all winter in milder regions. Trim back in early summer to promote fresh growth. Excellent for massing, edging, rock gardens and in mixed containers. This variety produces bright purple blossoms, with a tiny yellow eye, held well above the leaves. All pansies are short-lived perennials, usually lasting a couple of seasons.
