Quicktime™ White Blotch Viola

Quicktime™ White Blotch is a compact horned violet with white flowers marked by deep purple blotches. The F1 selection provides early spring and autumn color for cool-season beds and containers. ## Flowers and form The [PanAmerican Quicktime catalog](https://www.panamseed.com/documents/catalogs/18324_PASCatalog2020_Final_Allpages_LR.pdf) describes the series as compact, uniform and well-branched, with a 6–8 inch height and spread. White petals with a purple blotch give this selection strong contrast. ## Growing conditions Plant in full sun or part shade and provide humusy soil that stays moist but drains freely. The [NC State Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/viola-cornuta/common-name/horned-violet/) describes the species’ light and soil needs and notes that its flowers attract bees and butterflies. Flowering is strongest in cool weather. ## Garden use Use the compact plants along a border, in bedding displays or in a container near a doorway. Their white-and-purple flowers provide clear contrast among other seasonal colors. ## Maintenance Water when the soil begins to dry and allow excess water to drain. Remove faded flowers and trim back tired growth as warm weather arrives.
