Description
A variety of garden pansy that covers itself from spring to autumn with a profusion of pleasantly simple flowers in a mix of abundant colours. Versatile and easy to combine with other plants, either in the garden, in a pot or in a window box.
This tender little flower with retro appeal recalls the chromolithographs of bygone days. Often undervalued because it is misused in public spaces, it nevertheless deserves a special spot in the garden just as much as on windowsills.
Garden pansies, sometimes referred to as violas or violets, belong to the family Violaceae. They are generally cultivated as annuals or biennials. Pansies do not exist naturally since they are the result of hybridizations between several species of violets. There are many varieties, all of them featuring lovely five-petalled flowers, with or without spots, and in a variety of colours. The leaves are medium green, elliptical and widely crenate. They have a compact, branched habit.
If you like having it in the garden, you will appreciate it most in a window box sitting on a window sill, where you can have it right under your nose without having to venture out into the cold weather. Combine pansies with, for example: primroses, wallflowers, grape-hyacinth, daisies... and even with grasses such as Japanese sedge for a modern effect.
Pansy petals are edible and their colours will bring a touch of originality to your salads and pastries. For this, just grow them as you would your vegetables, in the most natural way possible.

Planting and care
Calendar : Sow pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for flowering the following spring.
Bury the seeds to a depth of 1.5 mm, in a terrine filled with good sowing soil. Cover, for example with a sheet of newspaper, since darkness is beneficial to germination. Keep at a temperature of 15 to 18° while keeping the soil moist. Germination takes between 14 and 21 days. Beware of excessively high temperatures which prevent the seedlings from emerging.
When the young plants are sufficiently developed to be handled, prick out into pots and let them grow whilst adapting them progressively to outside conditions over a period of 15 days. Plant your pansies out in the sun or in partial shade in the garden, taking care to leave 25 to 30 cm distance between each plant.
For late winter/early spring seedlings, wait for all risk of frost to pass before planting out.
Cultivation : Since pansies flower abundantly and grow quickly, they are very gluttonous and need a sunny or partial shaded position. They thrive in humus-rich, neutral to acidic, moist, fertile soil. Give them plant feed for planters once to twice a week during their phase of growth. Water regularly but not exceedingly. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
