Viola ‘Rebecca’
Perennial Pansy |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.545.390
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 unique selection has white petals strongly streaked and marbled all over with rich mauve and violet purple, with a tiny yellow eye. Trim plants back in June to renew the foliage.
