Description

The hybrid pansy 'F1 Carrera White Rose Blotch' offers an abundance of large flowers of pure white, contrasting beautifully with the deep purple-pink central blotch. A radiant and romantic variety, perfect for brightening up gardens and balconies in autumn, and again in late winter, reaching its peak between March and June. This biennial pansy is early flowering, vigorous and floriferous, easy to grow in humus-rich and moist soil, in sun or partial shade.

Garden pansies, sometimes called Swiss giant pansies, are actually hybrids grouped under Viola x wittrockiana. They belong to the violet family and are most often grown as annuals or biennials, although they are theoretically perennial, but short-lived. The 'F1 Carrera White Rose Blotch' variety produces branching plants that quickly form compact clumps, 15 to 20 cm (7.9 in) high and 20 cm (7.9 in) wide. Flowering occurs early, from October to the end of spring. The 6 cm (2.4 in) wide flowers, well open, are adorned with pure white, punctuated by a rich and intense deep purple central blotch. The centre is occupied by a tiny bright yellow and white heart. The plant has 2 types of leaves, the lower ones are ovate with dentate margins, and the upper ones are narrower and shorter.

If you love them in the garden you will greatly appreciate them in window boxes, to enjoy from inside while keeping warm. Plant alongside e.g. primroses, grape hyacinths, daisies and even grasses such as Japanese sedge for a graphic effect with a contemporary feel. Combine them with heucheras and tulips. The blue-green of fescue grass also enhances them well.

The petals of pansies are edible, and their colours will bring a touch of originality to your salads and pastries. For this purpose, think of growing them as you would your vegetables - in the most natural way possible.

Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible into pots, or directly into flowerbeds.

Planting and care

Grow in sun or partial shade, in a humus-rich, neutral to acidic, moist and fertile soil. Very floriferous and fast-growing, pansies are greedy plants. Feed them with liquid fertiliser for containers once or twice a week during the growth period. Water regularly but not excessively. Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.
