Viola Skippy XL Plum-Gold hybrid

2008 AAS Cool Season Bedding Plant Winner

The flowers are uniquely designed with plum shades surrounding the golden centers (face), which contain radiating black lines affectionately called whiskers. The blooms are small, about 1-1/2 inches, but are not to be underrated. The number of blooms produced more than makes up for the size. Skippy XL Plum-Gold won the AAS Award for its ability to grow a lavish number of blooms. In the North, plants can be expected to bloom beginning with spring to the heat of summer. In the South, a fall planting may provide flowering golden faces throughout the winter. The petite plants growing 6 to 8 inches tall and wide are highly recommended for combination planters. Gardeners can rely on Skippy XL Plum-Gold to provide abundant blooms whether growing in containers, window boxes, an annual or perennial garden. Skippy XL Plum-Gold may be a perennial in southern regions.
