Description
The 'True Blue' Pansy is a variety of pansy covered in a profusion of medium-sized blue flowers, slightly veined with a darker shade, from spring to autumn. Install it with daffodils for a striking contrast!
With its retro charm, this tender little flower evokes feelings of yesteryear. It is often undervalued because it is poorly used in public spaces, so it deserves a special place both in the garden and on window sills.
Belonging to the Violaceae family, the Pansy, Viola x wittrockiana, is sometimes called the Swiss Giant Pansy. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, usually grown as an annual or even as a biennial. Pansies do not exist in the wild, resulting from hybridisation between several species of violets. There are many varieties, all of which have adorable five-petaled flowers, either spotted or unspotted, and varying in colour. The leaves are medium green, elliptical, and widely serrated, with a compact and ramified habit.
Pansies are not demanding, they will thrive in full sun or partial shade, in moderately rich and well-drained soil. You can sow Pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for flowering in the following spring.
If you love them in the garden, they will be most appreciated in containers on the windowsill, where you can have them right under your nose while staying warm. You can plant them with Daffodils, Grape Hyacinths, Daisies, or with grasses like Variegated Japanese Sedge for a contemporary effect.
The petals of pansies are edible, and their colours will bring a touch of originality to your salads and pastries. To do this, remember to grow them as you would grow your vegetables most naturally.

Planting and care
Calendar: Sow pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for spring flowering the following year.
In a tray filled with good seed compost, bury the seeds to a depth of 1.5 mm (0in) and cover with, for example, a sheet of newspaper, as darkness is beneficial for germination. Maintain a temperature of 15 to 18° while keeping the soil moist. Germination takes between 14 and 21 days. Beware of temperatures that are too high, as they prevent seed germination.
When the seedlings are developed enough to be handled, transplant them into pots and let them grow, gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions over a period of about fifteen days. Plant your pansies in the garden, 25/30 cm (10/12in) apart, in full sun or partial shade.
For late winter / early spring sowings, wait until the risk of frost has passed.

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.
