Viola, Garden Pansy, Pansy 'Rococo Mix'

I usually buy flats of pansies in the early spring to put in my window boxes, but being broke this spring I started my own from seed in e...Read Morearly March. They took awhile to bloom, and I was regreting my thriftiness until this week, June 3rd, when they burst into flower. They are lovely...old fashioned, with a sweet scent; and no one else in town has them. I interplanted them with Black pansy and Clown (a blue-lavendar variety) and the colors are dazzling together. I will definitely plant them again. No local garden centers here have them, so my window boxes are unique.

Rococo pansies are hardy, free-flowering plants. The blooms are ruffled along the edges. The mix includes pastel and darks.
