Pansy
This pansy is composed of a yellow w/ blotch flower surrounded by gorgeous dark purple petals. The Delta series offers extreme uniformity in timing and habit with an outstanding heat tolerance.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
Plant them in well-prepared sunny to partly shady beds, making sure they get at least 3 hours of sun each day. Make sure you leave the crown of leaves above the soil because planting them too deeply can lead to root rot. They grow best in a loose, rich soil with regular water. Don’t over-water or they will begin to look disheveled. These colorful plants are far from high-maintenance, but as with most bedding plants, they may require a little TLC to add a gorgeous touch to your garden.
