More about this plant
Delta Wine and Cheese Mix blends red, purple and pale yellow pansies with 2.5 to 3 inch blooms on compact plants about 6 inches tall and 6 to 8 inches wide that keep the flowers from flopping. Pansies like these can overwinter in many areas once well rooted and rarely have disease or insect problems. Pansies prefer full sun to part shade in humus-rich soil that stays consistently moist but drains well. Plant in fall for winter and early spring bloom; deadheading prolongs flowering, and plants decline once summer heat arrives.
