More about this plant
Elegance Twilight is a pansy mix from breeder Isao Sato with large, frilly petals in deep maroon, indigo and fuchsia accented with contrasting tones. Compact plants thrive in cool spring and fall weather, with the best ruffling as temperatures drop, and colors in a mix vary plant to plant. 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.
