Pansy Early Flowering Mix Seeds

Viola tricolor var. hortensis is a vibrant and versatile variety that brings an early burst of colour to your garden.

 

The Latin name Viola refers to the genus of flowers, which includes both pansies and violets. Known for their large, cheerful blooms in a wide range of colours, including purple, yellow, red, and white, this mix is perfect for adding brightness to borders, containers, or hanging baskets.

 

Reaching a height of 20-25 cm, this variety is ideal for cooler spring temperatures, providing beautiful flowers early in the season, often before most other garden plants bloom. Pansy Early Flowering Mix is hardy and easy to grow, thriving in full sun or partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil.

 

These low-maintenance plants are not only a delight to the eye but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making them an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

 

A perfect option for gardeners looking to add early-season colour and fragrance to their outdoor spaces.
