Pansy Tasty Mixed is a new variety of pansy specially selected for the quality of its flavour. It is edible but also very ornamental and comes in a wide range of colours that you will enjoy from May to September.
This tender little flower with retro appeal recalls the chromolithographs of bygone days. Often undervalued because it is misused in public spaces, it nevertheless deserves a special spot in the garden just as much as on windowsills.
Garden pansies, sometimes referred to as Swiss Giant Pansies, belong to the family Violaceae. They are generally cultivated as annuals or biennials. Pansies do not exist naturally since they are the result of hybridizations between several species of violets. There are many varieties, all of them featuring lovely five-petalled flowers, with or without spots, and in a variety of colours. The leaves are medium green, elliptical and widely crenate. They have a compact, branched habit.
Pansies are very undemanding and will thrive in sun or partial shade, in moderately rich, well-drained soil. Sow pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for flowering the following spring.
If you like having it in the garden, you will appreciate it most in a window box sitting on a window sill, where you can have it right under your nose without having to venture out into the cold weather. Combine with wallflower, grape hyacinth, common daisies... or with ornamental grasses such as Japanese sedge for a very modern look.
Pansy petals are edible and their colours will bring a touch of originality to your salads and pastries. For this, just grow them as you would your vegetables, in the most natural way possible.

Botanical data
Calendar : Sow pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for flowering the following spring.
Bury the seeds to a depth of 1.5 mm, in a tray filled with good seed starting soil. Cover, for example with a sheet of newspaper, since darkness is beneficial to germination. Keep at a temperature of 15 to 18° while keeping the soil moist. Germination takes between 14 and 21 days. Beware of excessively high temperatures which prevent the seedlings from emerging.
When the young plants are sufficiently developed to be handled, prick out into pots and let them grow whilst adapting them progressively to outside conditions over a period of 15 days. Plant your pansies out in the sun or in partial shade in the garden, taking care to leave 25 to 30 cm distance between each plant.
For late winter/early spring seedlings, wait for all risk of frost to pass before planting out.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
