Pansy - Swiss Giant Mix

$1.99

The Pansy Swiss Giant Blend, 'Viola wittrockiania', produces large multi-colored flowers that you won't be able to get enough of, and you can eat them too! Technically a perennial, grown as an annual pansy, will overwinter in climates as cold as zone 4. Swiss Giant Blend has 3 inch flowers of mixed colors including blue, purple, yellow, apricot, orange, mahogany, red, white, and biclolors. Pansies bloom best during cool weather, this means spring in cool climates, and fall and winter in warm climates.

Swiss Giant prefers full sun but they tolerate some light shade. Plant them in normal garden soils and fertilize lightly. They need to be well watered but not soggy. Plant in early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before last frost or in mid summer for fall bloom. In warm climates plant in late summer or early fall. The Pansy works well in locations where late fall and early spring color would be appropriate.
