The big, colourful petals of these cheerful pansies make them a very showy addition to pots, windowboxes and hanging baskets. The flowers are held on short, stout stems and the plants are renowned for their robust growth and bushy habit. Plant them in big clumps where they will flower during milder periods throughout the winter.
Plant out in compost or well-drained, humus-rich soil that is not frozen or prone to waterlogging. Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Deadhead the spent blooms to prolong flowering.
