Frizzle Sizzle Lemonberry is a unique, frilly pansy in shades of yellow with striking purple splotches radiating from the center. The ruffling of the edges and lavender coloured picotee is most pronounced in cool conditions. Eye-catching planted in strategically placed pots and borders.
| Latin Name |
Viola tricolor, V. x wittrockiana, V. odorata, V. cornuta |
| Difficulty | Timing can be tricky, depending on the variety. Johnny Jump-Ups are very easy |
| Exposure |
Full sun to partial shade |
| Starting |
Even though the seeds are tiny, they need to be sown 5mm (¼”) deep. Keep the soil at 18-25°C (65-75°F), in complete darkness until they germinate in around 14 days. Then provide bright light to keep plants compact. Space at 15-23cm (6-9″) in the garden. For V. odorata: Barely cover the tiny seeds. Sow in flats sunk into the ground against a north-facing wall, and cover with glass or plastic. Remove cover when seedlings emerge. Germination can take up to 50 days, so be patient. |
| Growing |
After germination, violas are easy. Fertilize once or twice in early growth and provide a mulch around plants to keep roots cool as weather warms. Deadhead to prevent self-sowing, particularly with Johnny-Jump-Ups. For V. odorata: Transplant after last frost or in the autumn where winters are mild, spacing at 15-30cm (6-12”) apart. Grow in partial shade, or in full sun where summers are cool. This variety prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0. Add well-rotted manure at transplant time. |
