Matrix® Pansies
Matrix® Pansies are loved for their large blooms and color. They are so hardy and will thrive during our cool southern seasons. Matrix® Pansies will reward you with lush & full blooms. They come in a variety of hues, you can find selections in solid or “clear” colors or blotch.
Blotch vs. Clear Pansies
Pansies are a popular choice because there are many colors and patterns. They are available in blotch or clear. What does that mean exactly? Blotch pansies contain a dark center, which are sometimes referred to as faces, that create a dramatic display in your flowerbeds or containers.
Clear varieties contain beautiful blooms that are rich in color with the classic, yellow centers.
We offer many shades like white, orange, yellow, blue, and more!
Pansy Planting Tips
Pansies need partial to full sunlight throughout the day. They will grow to be about 6-8 inches tall at maturity with a spread of 8 inches. When planting in your flowerbeds, it is important that the individual plants are spaced approximately 6 inches apart to provide space and room to grow.
Pansies like average to moist soil conditions. Try planting with Calloway’s Premium Flowerbed Garden Soil in your flowerbeds or Calloway’s Premium Container Potting Soil in your containers for an ideal balance of moisture in the soil to foster healthy root growth.
Matrix® Pansies also make for a fantastic filler in your container gardens. The masses of spectacular color will compliment any thriller and create a vibrant and full creation.
Finally, to protect your plant’s roots, consider covering your flowerbeds with a thick layer of mulch, especially to prep for the winter. If you do not have time to lay your mulch before a freeze, use a frost cloth to protect your plants from the frosty conditions.
