In the garden

Viola 'Panola Rose Picotee' (Panola Series) belongs to the genus Viola within the Violaceae family and forms part of the Panola series of garden cultivars. The series name indicates it is one of several closely related selections offered for ornamental planting; consult your supplier or plant label for precise flower form and other cultivar-specific details. Flowering occurs in April, May and June, with a repeat flush in September and October. For culture, treat it as you would other commercially supplied violas: follow the planting instructions supplied with the plants and check whether the particular batch needs any winter protection or seasonal replacement. Removing spent blooms will help sustain the flowering runs, and observing the supplier’s guidance on feeding and watering will keep plants in active growth through the spring and autumn periods. Use Viola 'Panola Rose Picotee' (Panola Series) where short-season colour is required and where you can observe and maintain the plants during their two flowering windows. The combination of a spring-to-early-summer display followed by a second flush in early autumn makes it useful for renewing colour after the high-summer lull; expect blooms in April, May, June and again in September and October.
