Frizzle Sizzle Pansy

Viola x wittrockiana
Perennial to Zone 6. After a drear mud season, put a little razzle-dazzle in your spring and early summer garden. Heart-shaped leaves on mounded 4–6" plants with heart shaped leaves are covered with a splendid panoply of 3" mostly bicolor flowers, with darker whiskers and yellow eyes to dress up their array—in lemonade, orange, raspberry, blue, yellows, and white. Just imagine these edible lightly fragrant beauties on a salad. In colder zones, straw mulch will help them overwinter. ⑤
