A large flowered pansy that keeps going through frost and dull weather, holding its colour from autumn right through to spring.
Soft pink petals set off a dark central blotch, a classic pansy face that reads well from a distance in a bed or a window box. Plants are compact and low mounding, around 15 to 25cm tall and 20 to 30cm across, and flower through spring and autumn, often carrying on through milder winter spells when the rest of the garden is dormant.
Give it a place in full sun or light partial shade in moist, well drained soil and it settles quickly. It is fully hardy, and the winter flowering pansies sit out frost and snow then carry on flowering when the weather lifts. Deadhead the spent blooms and the display keeps going for months. Bees and other early pollinators work the flowers on mild days.
Supplied as three established plants together in a single 3 litre root ball, ready to plant straight out into beds, borders, patio containers, window boxes or baskets.
