Pansies arrive in September ready to brighten fall and winter beds with reliable colour before the heat returns. Cool Wave Violet Wing spreads outward instead of standing upright, so it works well tumbling from a hanging basket or softening the edge of a planter.

Plant in full sun to part shade and ordinary soil—pansies aren't fussy about either. They'll flower through cold snaps and mild spells, asking only that you pull off spent flowers to keep them going strong.
