Pansy (Viola x Wittrockiana) Delta 'Pure Deep Orange'
Pansy
Delta Pure Deep Orange is bright, cheery, and a sunny addition to any Fall container or bed. Deltas are very uniform in their size and bloom time. The Deltas are less prone to stretching in the heat, so they stay compact and look great at retail. They overwinter well and rebound quickly from severe weather. The Deltas have large blooms measuring up to 3.5" in diameter.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance TipsPlant them in well-prepared sunny to partly shady beds, making sure they get at least 3 hours of sun a 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.
