Johnny Jump-Ups
The plants are the same size as sorbet pansies but the flowers are half the size. When in full bloom the plant is literally covered with flowers. Johnny jump-ups are a lovely way to edge a spring flower bed. Colors include orange with purple, yellow with purple, light purple with dark purple and light yellow with dark yellow.
Icicle Pansies and Violas
These flowers are bred to be very winter hardy. The green leaves covered with snow or ice give the appearance the plant has died but it hasn't. At the first breath of spring it will send up new leaves and begin flowering.
Swiss Mix Giant Pansies
The plants are from 8 to 12 inches and spread to 15 inches. The flowers are huge, for a pansy that is, reaching 2 to 2/12 inches across. They will survive a light frost but not a cold freeze. Plant them in the early fall if you live in a mild winter areas. Wait until spring if your winters are tough.
