Viola ‘Tiger Eye’

Description

Viola ‘Tiger Eye’ stands out with golden-yellow flowers traced by dark radiating veins. The graphic pattern gives this compact cool-season annual more visual texture than a solid-color viola.

Best Uses

Use it in mixed bowls, borders, and window boxes where the dark veining can contrast with solid colors. Pair it with Viola ‘Red Blotch’ or a trailing selection such as Cool Wave Yellow pansy.

Light and Temperature

Grow in full sun during cool weather. In warmer conditions, afternoon shade can help extend flower quality and reduce heat stress.

Soil and Water

Plant in well-drained soil or potting mix and keep the root zone evenly moist without remaining saturated. Containers may need more frequent checks in windy or bright conditions.

Design With Pattern

The striped flowers work best where they can be seen up close, especially in entry pots and compact borders. Our small garden design guide has more ideas for using strong focal plants in limited spaces.

Simple Seasonal Care

Remove spent flowers if you want a tidy display, water when the upper root zone begins to dry, and replace plants once sustained heat ends their strongest flowering period.
