Pansy Beaconsfield, Purple and White (Viola Wittrockiana Swiss Giant Beaconsfield)
20 seeds or more per package

Beaconsfield Pansy is a gorgeous combination of purple and white, and it easily grows from seeds. This Swiss giant Pansy reaches approximately 3 inches across and features a purple flower with white upper petals. Pansy plants are great performers in the garden, in tubs on the patio or for cut flower bouquets, and they will flower the first year. These flower seeds need 12 weeks from seeding to produce blooming plants. Add some pizzazz to your garden with these purple Pansies.

Pansies are used in culinary dishes and they have a sweet light fragrance. Pansies are grown as an annual in all zones, but they're classified as a cool-season herbaceous perennial in USDA zones 5 through 9. In the warmest climates, they're better treated as a cool season plant since pansies don't tolerate high temperatures. If they're grown as biennials—direct-sown in early fall and mulched through the winter—they'll bloom earlier in the spring.
