More about this plant
Top Wave Blue Blotch is a Top Wave spreading pansy. Top Wave has the largest flowers of any spreading pansy series, about 25% bigger than Cool Wave. Plants mound first, then trail vigorously for window boxes, baskets and container spills, reaching 7 to 9 inches tall and 20 to 30 inches wide in sun, and fill the landscape faster than standard pansies. Pansies prefer full sun to part shade in humus-rich soil that stays consistently moist but drains well.
