In detail

Pansy 'Padparadja' is named after a jewel that is found in Sri Lanki. The precious stone looks very exotic with a bright, deep orange glow. Nevertheless it has remained rather unknown, until now. This same orange glow, spread by Pansy 'Padparadja' may very well bring a lot of attention to the jewel. Fleuroselect awarded the orange Viola wittrockiana its Gold Medal. In the trials of the Organization all 20 judges gave the maximum score for the attractiveness of this new variety. This has never happened before. But an attractive novelty also has to excel on the other important issues. 'Padparadja' did and won the medal justifiably. To Professional growers 'Padparadja' will not cause any problems. Like most pansies it can be planted almost year round, but best in Spring and Autumn. Home gardeners produce the 'Padparadja' is perennial and will flower from Spring to Autumn, if the plants are trimmed back with garden shears after the first flowering period.
