Splash of winter colour?

Haven't grown these FC. I don't want to dispell your interest but, unless you are prepared to ensure they are in a sheltered location and ALSO have the time to dead head every three days to keep the blooms coming,.....
I am happier with an F1 Universal pansy mix; bigger flowers and less deadheading. I will be interested to view what others think too,

Not the answer you're looking for but they look nice and i want something along the same lines as you. I've had Similar coloured Violas before that have always done well throughout the winter so may be worth a try and you can't really go wrong with Pansies can you?

 

variegated Ivies? Tough as old boots and can stand up to a dog rough Winter

 

I think it's worth having a go with them FC. I usually plant some winter pansies and violas and usually have pretty good luck with them. There isn't much else for winter color really.

 

No, I do not. They would not survive here in the winter.

 

Same here....no way they would survive a Canadian winter....pretty though.

 

To my experience pansies survive through the winter and look pretty shabby. Buy some from the GC and plant some up in containers end of Feb. and you will get a great show early spring. Lovely happy spring plant are Pansies

 

So, my knee jerk to that is: will they get enough watering? Something you may have to do manually?

 

Then go for it !! Prove all us doubting Thomases wrong.!
