Coolwave Raspberry Swirl Pansy
Viola x wittrockiana. The Cool Wave collection is easy to grow with its vigorous growth habit and tolerance to cool temperatures. The blossoms with their beautiful bright colours and cheery happy faces last throughout the season with very little maintenance. These plants can be grown as a ground cover in your garden or will fill any container.
Usually grown as annuals but pansies are so hardy that they will often over-winter depending on conditions. Ideal for growing in locations with short, cool seasons or for adding that splash of colour when other annuals haven’t fully opened. Low maintenance and non-stop blooming all summer long. Height 6-8". Approx. 10 seeds/pkg.
