Pansy Viola wittrockiana Inspire Plus 'True Blue'

Pansy

Inspire Plus True Blue features a breathtaking sky blue hue with a hint of violet and a clear center. The Inspire Plus series offers extreme uniformity in timing and habit with an outstanding heat tolerance. They also rebound well from extreme weather, are extra early and free flowering, and generally have minimal stretching. The Inspire Plus have large blooms measuring about 3" in diameter.  

Quite possibly the most popular and recognizable fall annual, pansies come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. 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. 

Height 4-6 Inches

Spread 4-6 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 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.
