❤Grown from Pansy seeds, these black Pansy flowers are an effective attention getter. Perhaps the boldest black flower in the garden, with blooms the color of India ink, and a diminutive yellow eye. Black flowers offer a stunning display!
🌺Pansy flowers are early blooming, sometimes even peaking through the snow, and they continue their display on into late spring to early summer; however, in hotter climates the blooms will typically shrivel when temperatures get extreme.
🪴Pansy Clear Crystals are known for their clear colors without blotches or other markings, and they are perfect for window boxes and containers, or use them in flower bed in mass plantings. The design possibilities are endless with this variety, from container mixes to en masse planting in beds and borders. The compact, floriferous plants reach 6 inches tall and look fantastic planted chockablock for a dramatic effect! Don’t forget: these flowers are also edible!

HOW TO GROW🌱
Start seeds indoors in very early spring (or late summer for fall blooms). Seeds need darkness to germinate; cover soil surface with cardboard or enclose pots in black plastic; remove as soon as sprouts begin to appear. Grow in full sun to partial shade. Likes cool, moist, woodsy soil, cool-to-cold temps. Occasionally self-sows.
