[NCSU Extension plant profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/viola-x-wittrockiana/) ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun to partial shade and humus-rich soil that stays consistently moist but drains well. The species profile describes green, semi-evergreen foliage, a moderate growth rate, and flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators. PanAmerican lists this selection for USDA zones 6a–8b. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to prolong bloom and water often enough to keep the soil moist. Pansies eventually succumb to summer heat; remove plants as they decline.
