Pansy 'Delta Pro Violet & White' (Viola x wittrockiana) – Winter Flowering Bedding Plants (18 Plants in 2 x 9-Cell Trays)

These violet and white pansies are classic cool season bedding plants, with bold open faces and a long flowering season. You get 18 plants, growing one to a cell in 2 plastic 9-cell trays, ready to plant out.

Pansy (Viola x wittrockiana) is one of the most reliable plants for spring and autumn colour, and the winter flowering types keep going through frost and carry on blooming when the weather lifts. The bi-colour violet and white flowers look good planted in drifts in a border or grouped together in a patio container.

Pansies grow well in borders, patio containers, window boxes and hanging baskets, in full sun or partial shade. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil and keep the compost moist but not waterlogged, especially in dry spells.

They are easy to look after. Deadhead spent flowers often to keep new buds coming, and feed every fortnight with a balanced liquid fertiliser to keep up the colour.
