Viola ‘Skippy Plum Gold’


Perennial Pansy

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.551.110


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 strain produces blooms in an unusual blend of plum with a whiskeredgolden face. Nice compact habit. Sometimes these will flower all winter in climates with mild weather. All pansies and violas have edible flowers! Bred and introduced by Kieft Seeds of the Netherlands.
