Panola Panache!
Innovated
by Waller Seed, the Panola Panache
F1 hybrid gives you the best of both Pansies and
Violas. Panolas have the free flowering characteristics
of Violas but with larger flowers. Seven stunning
colors present flowers 1½" to 2" across.
Plants are compact with short flower stems to
reliably present blooms even under the rainiest
days and warmest springs. In mass plantings, plant
them about 8" apart.
Light
requirement: A cool, yet full sun location
suits Panola Panache. Plants are very winter hardy
and will flower until the worst summer heat makes
them dormant.
Water and fertilizer:
Panache, like Violas, will tolerate just about
any soil. However, best growth occurs in good,
fertile flower beds. Composts and mulches help
keep the soil moist and warmer in the winter.
Be sure to combat slugs and
snails on a regular schedule. Use any quality
garden fertilizer for vigorous growth and flowering.
Suggested
uses: Ideal in flower beds and patio
containers.

While
much of the information in this tip is applicable
in several gardening zones/climates, some of the
plants and timing suggested are best suited to
the Northwest, generally in the mild/wet growing
regions found along the I-5 corridor. You should
make appropriate adjustments or consult local
gardening experts in regions whose climates differ
from this area of the Northwest.
