This hybrid series is more tolerant of summer heat and winter cold than the annual pansy types. Excellent for massing, edging, rock gardens, and in containers. Nice for combining with spring flowering bulbs. Trim plants back by half in early June. This variety has little flowers of pale porcelain-blue that shade to sky-blue in the centre, with a contrasting tiny yellow eye. Nice compact habit. Sometimes these will flower all winter in climates with mild weather. All pansies and violas have edible flowers.
