More about this plant
Grandio Rose Beacon belongs to a large-flowering pansy series with blooms about 3.25 inches across on uniform, mounded plants 4 to 7 inches tall, with an excellent habit and stem length. Grandio stays compact with less stretch in high heat and keeps flowering under short days, for fall, winter and spring color in sun to part sun. 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.
