Pansy - Nature Mulberry Shades

Plants

Sale price$9.00
VIOLA X WITTROCKIANA

One of my favourite pansy varieties from my trials last season! These burgundy moody pansies with hints of plum & burnt orange eventually produced some very very useable stem lengths for that truly unique cut-flower. The flowers last surprisingly well, and buds continue to open as old flowers fade. For best stem length grow in a sheltered semi shady spot (I like growing them under my sweet peas).

Due to the short week next week (Labour Weekend), plant orders to Rural or South Island addresses will be shipped on Monday 4th November.

Please note, we have a minimum plant order of $45 (approx. 5 plants) – you can mix & match any plants to meet the minimum.

Our plant boxes can fit up to 10 plants per box.

Plant orders are shipped on Mondays (& Tuesdays).

See our Shipping Page for more info.

We love to plant our pansies under our sweet peas, firstly as it is just oh so pretty, they also act like a great ground cover if planted densely enough to minimise weeds (& distract the quails from finding our delicious sweet pea tips. And we have also found the pansies do slowly elongate and get decent enough step length as they stretch and climb the sweet peas.

Pansies love cooler temps so are best sown in autumn through to early winter.

Keep an eye out for slugs as they absolutely love pansies and especially their flowers!
