Viola Bambini Seeds

£0.99 incl. VAT

The Horned Pansy Bambini mix features a blend of double-coloured pansies, each showcasing a vibrant yellow centre adorned with contrasting dark spots. The flowers come in shades of light and dark purple, yellow, or peach. They bloom for an extended period during spring, and regular deadheading can further extend their flowering time. These flowers are edible and can enhance the visual appeal and taste of salads and desserts, as well as be incorporated into cakes and cookies. Additionally, sugared pansies can be made from them. They can be cultivated in pots and containers, making them a great choice for adding spring colour to perennial borders. These plants are deciduous and should be protected from frost when young, although established plants can tolerate mild frost. The Horned Pansy is capable of self-seeding, making it ideal for wild gardens. It thrives best in partially shaded areas, as full sun can lead to sunburn on the flowers. This semi-hardy perennial is particularly attractive to bees and other pollinators, reaching a height of 15 cm.
