pansy 'Frizzle Sizzle Blue' (Frizzle Sizzle Series)
pansy (syn. Viola × wittrockiana)
A punchy, vibrant blue to brighten the cooler, darker months, ‘Frizzle Sizzle Blue’ beams with quirky, face-like, double blue ruffled petals speckled with a golden eye. A compact evergreen perennial, but most commonly grown as a show-stopping annual, this sweetly scented viola will be happy in baskets, borders, containers and window boxes over the winter. The edible flowers can be added to salads as a decorative garnish.
How to care for Viola × wittrockiana Frizzle Sizzle Blue (Frizzle Sizzle Series):
Once established, larger plants can be planted out in compost or well-drained, humus-rich soil that is not frozen or waterlogged. Seedlings should be grown on in a frost-free environment, such as a bright windowsill or cool greenhouse before planting out. Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Deadhead the spent blooms to prolong flowering.
Sowing instructions:
Late winter, spring and autumn sowings can be done in a cold frame, into trays of good seed compost and gradually hardened off before planting out. Alternatively sow directly into a well-prepared seed bed in late spring to early summer, or in autumn. Gently thin the seedlings out to 15cm apart when they are large enough to handle.
