Viola Penny™ Purple Picotee (Viola cornuta ‘Penny™ Purple Picotee’)

Viola Penny™ Purple Picotee (Viola cornuta ‘Penny™ Purple Picotee’) is a charming cool-season annual prized for its delicate white flowers accented by rich purple edges. The distinctive picotee pattern gives each bloom a refined, hand-painted appearance, making this viola a standout addition to containers, hanging baskets, borders, and seasonal garden displays.

The abundant blooms cover the plant throughout spring, fall, and cooler summer periods, creating a soft yet colourful display above compact green foliage. The flowers attract bees and other early-season pollinators while pairing beautifully with purple pansies, white alyssum, pink dianthus, and other cool-season favourites.

Part of the popular Penny™ series, Purple Picotee develops a compact, uniform habit with excellent branching and impressive flower production. The plants tolerate cool temperatures exceptionally well and often continue blooming through light frosts, extending seasonal colour when many other annuals have faded.

In Alberta, Penny™ Purple Picotee Viola is an excellent choice for spring and fall gardens, delivering dependable blooms and elegant colour throughout the cooler months of the growing season.
