Pansy Viola wittrockiana Crown 'Clear Mix'

Additional Photos

Pansy

Crown clear mix is a fall season favorite. Clear mix offers clean and crisp flowers made up of 8 different shades of white, yellow, orange, purple and red. The Crown series features beautiful clear faced flowers that hold their color well in the garden. They have large blooms measuring about 3.5" in diameter. 

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, rock walls and paths. Pansies planted in the fall generally have more uniform bloom, and grow slightly larger flowers than their spring companion pansies. The Crown series has been a retail favorite for years.

& 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.
