Notes
'Bunny Ears' pansy (Viola wittrockiana 'Bunny Ears') is a perennial for borders, containers, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant blue, purple, and white flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Ballade tulip, Burgundy Glow bugle, and Fringed bleeding heart.
