RHS Hyde Hall reveals People’s Choice Viola Winner

 

Results of an RHS People’s Choice vote on more than 220 Viola cultivars at RHS Garden Hyde Hall have returned a tie for the top spot and a three-way split in second place. Viola ‘Bel Viso Yellow Jump Up’ (pictured above) and V. ‘Rocky Black’ (below) polled the most votes to take joint first place, while V. ‘Bel Viso YTT’, V.’Deltini Blue Purple Wing’ and V. ’Deltini Honeybee’ came joint second.

 

 

While not an official RHS Trial, the RHS trials team took the opportunity to have the demonstration planting of Violaassessed by a panel of experts with a view to awarding the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) to any plants that meet the relevant criteria. The results of the AGM assessment will be published later this year.

 

The Viola demonstration was on display in the Floral Fantasia garden at RHS Hyde Hall from March to June and proved very popular with visitors.
