Viola ‘Tiger Eyes’
Perennial Pansy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.545.900
Also known as Viola, or Horned Violet. This lovely hybrid produces bicolour flowers of bright yellow, heavily striped in brown and surrounding a black eye. Plants are low and compact, producing flowers throughout the cooler months of the year, especially in spring and fall. Makes for an interesting contrast colour in the border. Divide plants each September, since they are not long lived and need to be renewed regularly. Performs best in regions with cool summers and low humidity. Flowers are edible! USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
