In detail

Professional bedding plant growers can produce the beautiful flowering plants about 1 week earlier than comparable varieties. The pansy can be planted almost year round, but is at its best in Spring and Autumn. Home gardeners raise 'Imperial Gold Princess' just as easily as other pansies, sowing them in late Summer (for Autumn and Spring flowers) and again in Spring for Summer flowers. Like all Pansies, this medal-winning Princess is perennial and can be encouraged to flower from Spring to Autumn, if the plants are trimmed back with garden shears after a big flush of blooms. There are numerous applications for pansies, even when there are many alternatives. Ever tried pansies in a patio tub or in small cutflower arrangements? Landscapers cannot do without pansies in spring nor in autumn. Parks and Gardens need pansies for early colour and to replace faded bulb flowers. Pansies are getting year-round recognition. Fleuroselect Medal Winning pansies, like Jolly Joker, Padparadja and this Viola wittrockiana 'Imperial Gold, lead the way.
