Viola 'Penny White Jump Up': Pure White Whiskered Charm

Viola 'Penny White Jump Up'

Pure white petals adorned with delicate dark whiskers and a central blotch make Viola 'Penny White Jump Up' a vision of cool-season purity. The Penny series provides this classic "jump up" pattern on uniform, cold-tolerant plants (4–6 inches tall, spreading to 1 foot) with day-length neutral flowering for reliable fall-through-spring performance.

Elegant Pattern

Each 1–1.25 inch flower features a pristine white background with a small, dark central blotch and fine, radiating whiskers—typically deep purple or blue. The contrast is crisp and elegant. Plants are exceptionally uniform, cold-hardy (surviving hard freezes), and flower heavily in short winter days. The compact, mounding habit stays neat without pinching.

Growing Requirements

• Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade. Cool-season performer.
• Height: 4–6 inches.
• Spread: 10–12 inches (1 foot or less).
• Soil: Well-drained, organic-rich.
• Water: Moderate. Keep evenly moist.

Garden Uses

Stunning in white-themed winter gardens, paired with white pansies, dusty miller, and silver foliage. Elegant in containers with deep violet or blue violas for contrast. Perfect for window boxes, hanging baskets, and fairy gardens where the delicate whiskers can be admired. Reliable for formal edging and mass plantings.

Maintenance

Deadhead for continuous bloom. Slow-release fertilizer at planting. Light monthly feeding. Protect from heat. Afternoon shade in warm zones. Edible flowers for pure white garnishes.
