Bred for extreme weather conditions with large, showy flowers in both clear and blotched faces. 'Peach Shades' produces blooms in delicate shades of cream, raspberry and blush pink, and is loved by pollinators. A compact variety which is early to flower, this pansy gives off a warm, colourful glow to seasonal plantings during the coldest months of the year. The petals are edible and can be added to salads or used as a garnish.
Grown individually in cell trays, each plant measures about 4 - 6cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). They are ideal for keen gardeners who have a greenhouse where the plants can be grown on until they are ready for planting out in the garden.
Please note: We grow these especially for you, so we do request that full payment is made when you place your order. See above for despatch dates. To ensure that your plants arrive in the best possible condition each pack will be despatched individually.
Garden care: Keep well watered, and feed with a good, high potash fertiliser (such as Tomorite) on a regular basis. Pinching off the spent flowers will encourage more to form.
