More about this plant
Delta Pro Lavender Blue Shade is a garden pansy, one of the most popular bedding plants for cool weather, growing 6 to 9 inches tall and 9 to 12 inches wide. It blooms for up to 4 to 6 months, attracts butterflies and other pollinators, and suits bedding, borders, containers and hanging baskets. 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.
