Know before you buy
The Top Wave Orange pansy features a mounded, spreading habit. You can expect each plant to reach a height of 7-9 inches and spread between 20-30 inches, making them an excellent choice for filling out hanging baskets or wide pots.
Not at all, provided you maintain the right conditions. Keep the soil temperature between 65-70°F and ensure the seeds are covered, as they require darkness to germinate. You should see sprouts within 4-15 days.
The Top Wave Orange variety is specifically bred to produce blossoms that are 25% larger than those found in the Cool Wave series. It is also the first spreading pansy to feature this specific vibrant orange color.
While they are ideal for containers, they can be used in garden beds as well. Because they are a transplant variety, it is best to start them indoors or in trays before moving them to their final location once they are established.
These pansies thrive in either full sun or partial sun. They are a cool-season annual, so they perform best when temperatures are moderate, making them perfect for spring and fall displays.
Each packet contains 100 untreated, hybrid seeds. Given their vigorous spreading habit, this is enough to fill several large containers or a significant section of a garden bed.
