Pansy (Viola x wittrockiana) – Ready Planted Yellow Bedding Trough (3 Plants in a White Tin Trough)

Yellow pansies are one of the cheeriest ways to bring colour to a doorstep, patio or windowsill, and this ready planted white tin trough holds 3 of them, growing together and ready to display as soon as it arrives.

The garden pansy (Viola x wittrockiana) is a compact, mounding plant with velvety yellow blooms and mid-green, oval to heart-shaped leaves. The rustic white tin trough with its natural moss finish gives the display a timeless cottage-garden feel, and it makes a lovely gift or a simple way to refresh an outdoor space.

The 3 pansies arrive planted in the trough, so no planting or preparation is needed. Stand it somewhere in full sun or partial shade, such as a doorstep, porch or patio table. Pansies flower best in cool weather and will keep going through autumn, winter and spring in mild spells.

Keep the compost evenly moist without letting it become waterlogged, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to three weeks. Remove spent flowers regularly to prolong flowering. As these are living plants, the stage of bloom may vary slightly with the season.
