Lemon Chiffon

Viola SorbetTM Lemon Chiffon.  An essential ingredient in my autumn hanging basket recipe. If you garden in Zones 4-9 may I suggest you include a generous portion in your next container creation. This yellow beauty will put a little Spring in your Fall, add sunshine to gray November days and -- here's the edible bonus --  sweeten your salads.

This hybrid selection is more tolerant of summer heat and winter cold than the annual pansy types. Excellent for massing, edging, rock gardens, and in containers. Nice for combining with spring flowering bulbs. Trim plants back by half in early June. This variety has little flowers in a range of bright and soft yellow shades. Nice compact habit. Sometimes these will flower all winter in climates with mild weather. (Source)
