New Pansy Sweet Pea

Pansies

Jersey plants have just mailed me a copy of their glossy but clear catalogue of plants for 2012. I was pleased to see and order some jumbo plugs of Senetti a daisy like flower that did so well for me last year. Prices are similar to other suppliers but postage is free.

I was suckered when it came to checkout into buying another 70 garden ready Pansy Sweet Pea a variety I have not come across before.

What are Pansy Sweet Pea

  • This pansy grows to 18″ and has similar characteristics to sweet peas.
  • The flowers are bicoloured and blotched in white, rose, pink, lilac, gold, red, and blue.
  • They flower from April to October with ruffled petals.
  • They are said to be ‘Ideal as cut flowers’ my reason for buying them.
  • I will support these pansies with short canes and plant about 6″ apart.

I have joined a flickr group ‘VIOLETTA AMORE MIO’ that specialise in pansy and violet photographs and hope to get some good pictures of this variety to submit to the show.
