Pansy Viola wittrockiana Matrix 'Jewels Mix'

Pansy

Matrix Jewels Mix has lemon, light blue, true blue, orange, purple, yellow, and rose flowers. The Matrix series was grown with tight specifications while minimizing waste. Matrix has superior branching, meaning the plants entirely cover the soil before they flower to prevent stretching. 

Quite possibly the most popular and recognizable fall annual, pansies come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The flower size of pansies ranges from 2½” to 4” depending on the type. They are compact low-growers, making them ideal for edging, rock walls and paths. Pansies planted in the fall generally have more uniform bloom, and grow slightly larger flowers than their spring companion pansies. 

Height 8 Inches

Spread 8-10 Inches

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips Plant them in well-prepared sunny to partly shady beds, making sure they get at least 3 hours of sun each day. Make sure you leave the crown of leaves above the soil because planting them too deeply can lead to root rot. They grow best in a loose, rich soil with regular water. Don’t over-water or they will begin to look disheveled. These colorful plants are far from high-maintenance, but as with most bedding plants, they may require a little TLC to add a gorgeous touch to your garden.
