Plant Common Name

Majestic Giant Pansy, Pansy

General Description

Beautiful and expressive, pansy flowers have some of the most diverse color combinations of all bedding plants. The Majestic Giant Series produces some of the largest flowers of any pansies. These small, evergreen perennials to tender perennials put forth many large flat-faced, five-petaled flowers that may be white, violet-blue, lavender, purple, yellow, pink, or red. Many have contrasting black "faces". Plants bloom continuously in regions where the growing season is generally cool but will cease blooming as the weather heats up. Plants for compact clumps of small oval green leaves.

Overall, Majestic Giant pansies prefer moist, well-drained soil and sites with full to part sun. In colder regions give them an airy winter mulch such as pine boughs. They are best used for bedding, in container plantings, or along the edges of mixed borders.
