Key Features

Diverse Colour Palette Each pack contains six different pansy varieties, showcasing a beautiful spectrum of colours including deep purples, sunny yellows, pristine whites, rich blues, warm oranges, and classic bicolours. The mix typically includes both solid colours and charming face-pattern varieties with distinctive markings.

Premium Plant Quality These large, well-established plants have been professionally grown to ensure robust root systems and healthy, bushy growth. Each plant is garden-ready upon arrival and will quickly establish to provide immediate impact in your planting scheme.

Extended Flowering Season Pansy Mixed offers exceptional value with continuous blooms from planting time through to late spring. These hardy performers actually thrive in cooler conditions, providing essential colour when many other plants are dormant.

Growing Information

Planting Requirements

• Soil: Moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter

• Position: Full sun to partial shade (adapts well to various light conditions)

• Spacing: Plant 15-20cm apart for optimal coverage and air circulation

• Planting depth: Position at the same level as the original container soil

Care Instructions Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during dry periods, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during active growth. Remove spent flowers promptly to encourage continued blooming and maintain plant vigour throughout the season.

Seasonal Performance

Autumn Establishment Plant from September onwards for the best results. Autumn planting allows plants to develop strong root systems during cooler months, leading to superior spring performance.

Winter Resilience These frost-hardy plants can withstand temperatures down to -12°C, continuing to provide colour even through harsh winter conditions. In milder areas, flowering may continue intermittently throughout winter.

Spring Glory Peak flowering occurs from March through May, when plants produce their most abundant and vibrant display, creating spectacular carpets of mixed colours.

Design Applications

Mixed Border Displays The varied colours make Pansy Mixed perfect for creating natural-looking drifts at the front of mixed borders. The different varieties complement each other beautifully whilst providing interesting contrast and texture.

Container Gardening Excellent for windowboxes, hanging baskets, and patio containers where the colour variety creates instant visual interest. Combine with trailing plants or small evergreens for added structure.

Pathway Edging Line garden paths or driveways with these colourful plants to create welcoming borders that guide visitors through your garden with continuous colour.

Carpet Bedding Plant multiple packs together to create stunning carpet bedding displays in larger areas, where the mixed colours create a natural, cottage garden aesthetic.

Colour Combinations You Can Expect

Classic Varieties The mix typically includes traditional favourites such as deep purple with yellow centres, pure white blooms, bright yellow faces, and rich blue varieties.

Bicolour Beauties Expect delightful two-tone varieties featuring purple and white combinations, yellow and purple faces, and orange-red blends that add extra visual interest.

Pattern Variations Some plants will feature the classic pansy "face" pattern with distinctive markings, whilst others showcase solid colours or subtle colour gradations.

Companion Planting Ideas

Pansy Mixed works beautifully alongside other cool-season plants including primroses, polyanthus, winter heathers, ornamental cabbages, and early spring bulbs like snowdrops and crocuses. For container displays, consider adding trailing ivy, small conifers, or winter-flowering cyclamen.

Professional Growing Tips

Soil Preparation Incorporate well-rotted compost or leaf mould into the planting area before installation. Good soil preparation is key to achieving the best flowering performance.

Watering Technique Water at soil level rather than overhead to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Morning watering is preferable as it allows foliage to dry before evening.

Deadheading Practice Regular deadheading not only encourages more flowers but also prevents unwanted self-seeding, allowing you to control where these plants appear in future seasons.

Summer Management As temperatures rise in late spring and early summer, plants may begin to decline. This is natural behaviour – simply remove spent plants and prepare the area for summer bedding.
