Description

The 'True Blue' Pansy is a variety of pansy covered in a profusion of medium-sized blue flowers, slightly veined with a darker shade, from spring to autumn. Install it with daffodils for a striking contrast!

With its retro charm, this tender little flower evokes feelings of yesteryear. It is often undervalued because it is poorly used in public spaces, so it deserves a special place both in the garden and on window sills.

Belonging to the Violaceae family, the Pansy, Viola x wittrockiana, is sometimes called the Swiss Giant Pansy. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, usually grown as an annual or even as a biennial. Pansies do not exist in the wild, resulting from hybridisation between several species of violets. There are many varieties, all of which have adorable five-petaled flowers, either spotted or unspotted, and varying in colour. The leaves are medium green, elliptical, and widely serrated, with a compact and ramified habit.

Pansies are not demanding, they will thrive in full sun or partial shade, in moderately rich and well-drained soil. You can sow Pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for flowering in the following spring.

If you love them in the garden, they will be most appreciated in containers on the windowsill, where you can have them right under your nose while staying warm. You can plant them with Daffodils, Grape Hyacinths, Daisies, or with grasses like Variegated Japanese Sedge for a contemporary effect.

The petals of pansies are edible, and their colours will bring a touch of originality to your salads and pastries. To do this, remember to grow them as you would grow your vegetables most naturally.

Planting and care

Calendar: Sow pansies from February to April for summer flowering or from June to August for spring flowering the following year.

In a tray filled with good seed compost, bury the seeds to a depth of 1.5 mm (0in) and cover with, for example, a sheet of newspaper, as darkness is beneficial for germination. Maintain a temperature of 15 to 18° while keeping the soil moist. Germination takes between 14 and 21 days. Beware of temperatures that are too high, as they prevent seed germination.

When the seedlings are developed enough to be handled, transplant them into pots and let them grow, gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions over a period of about fifteen days. Plant your pansies in the garden, 25/30 cm (10/12in) apart, in full sun or partial shade.

For late winter / early spring sowings, wait until the risk of frost has passed.
