Pansy 'Delta Pro Lavender Blue Shades' (Viola x wittrockiana) – Winter Flowering Bedding Plants (18 Plants in 2 x 9-Cell Trays)

Pansy 'Delta Pro Lavender Blue Shades' is a compact, free-flowering garden pansy with soft, velvety blooms in a blend of lavender and blue. It is a favourite for autumn and spring bedding, containers, window boxes and hanging baskets, and flowers over a long season from autumn through to late spring.

You receive 18 plants, supplied in 2 plastic trays of 9 cells with one plant to each cell. They are healthy, well-rooted young plants, ready to plant out or grow on. The Delta Pro series, bred by PanAmerican Seed, is known for its weather tolerance, strong branching habit and consistent colour.

Plant in well-drained, fertile soil or good multipurpose compost, in full sun or partial shade. Water regularly in dry spells without letting the compost become waterlogged. Deadhead spent blooms and feed fortnightly with a balanced liquid fertiliser to keep the flowers coming. Planting in autumn gives winter and spring colour, or plant in early spring for an instant display.

This is the Lavender Blue Shades colour form, with soft blends of lilac, lavender and blue. It suits a calm, cool-toned scheme, or mixes well with whites and creams for a classic cottage garden feel.
