Pansy ‘Frizzle Sizzle Yellow Blue Swirl’

Viola x wittrockiana

Features

  • Edible
  • Medium producer
  • Suitable for containers

Description

Strong, bushy plants with an upright growth habit carry a beautiful mix of frilly-edged, fragrant flowers. Blooms darken as they age and are a gorgeous mix of smoky lavender-blue and gold with chocolate faces. This is one of the most uniquely colored pansies we’ve ever seen!

Details

Plant type: hardy annual
Height: 10 to 14 in
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 80 to 90 days
Plant spacing: 4 to 6 in
Pinch: not necessary

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes

Start seed indoors in trays 8 to 12 weeks before last frost. Seeds require darkness to germinate, so cover lightly. Pansies can withstand a light frost, so cold-climate gardeners can pick a transplant date that is about 2 weeks before the last frost.

Harvesting/Vase Life

Harvest when the flowers are starting to open. Stems lengthen over time. Expect a vase life of 5 to 7 days.
