More about this plant
Top Wave Orange was the first orange spreading pansy and is the most vigorous in its series. 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.
