'Cool Wave Fire' ignites gardens with its rich, fiery hues perfect for autumn and early spring displays. This spreading perennial, often grown as an annual, produces abundant two-tone blooms in deep dark red, each faced with a beaming yellow centre. As part of the Cool Wave Series, it possesses exceptional vigour and longevity to deliver reliable, cool season blooms. Ideal for containers, baskets and borders, this hardy pansy withstands tough weather while blanketing its surroundings in vibrant, cockle-warming colour.
Plant out in compost or well-drained, humus-rich soil that is not frozen or prone to waterlogging. Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. Deadhead the spent blooms to prolong flowering.
