Pansies, Historic Mixture

(Viola x wittrockiana) Unfortunately, none of the original pansies introduced in the 1800s by the Vilmorin Company of Paris still exist by their true names. Fortunately for gardeners, seedsman Kees Sahin is keeping a collection of 13,000 violas in the Netherlands. Through his incredible knowledge of historic varieties, Kees has selected a mixture closely resembling those grown by gardeners more than 150 years ago. This vigorous self-seeding biennial has settled in nicely at Heritage Farm and we look forward to it coming back to life every spring. The flowers are reminiscent of little happy faces. The most popular pansy we offer, very easy to grow. Grows 6-8" tall.
