Notes

'Jolly Joker' pansy (Viola 'Jolly Joker') is grown for borders, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 1, or down to -60°F (-51°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy soil. The flowers open from early to late spring. Butterflies, bees, and birds all visit the blooms, so it adds life to a sunny bed. Plant it near the front of a border where you can watch the visitors.

Pairs well with Fireworks globe amaranth, Graceful Grasses Curly Wurly lamp rush, and Prickly wild rose.
