Pansy (Viola x Wittrockiana) Colussus 'White'

Pansy

This clean and crisp white pansy looks heavenly paired with any of the other 23 colors offered at Sedan Floral.  This popular series features extra large upward facing blooms, a tight plant habit and prevents stretching during warm conditions.  Quite possibly the most popular and recognizable fall annual, pansies come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.  The flower size of pansies ranges from 2½” to 4” depending on the type.  They are compact low-growers, making them ideal for edging and rock walls and paths.  Pansies planted in the fall generally have more uniform and bloom, and grow slightly larger flowers than their spring companion pansies.  The popular Colossus series has been shown to be a great improvement to the well known Majestic Giant Series.

Height 6-9 Inches

Spread 5-9 Inches

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips Plant 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.
