Product description
A particularly useful Pansy for adding colour to containers, baskets and borders, Lavender Shades produces large lavender-blue flowers with darker veining across the petals. The contrasting markings give the blooms a distinctive appearance, while the upright flower stems help keep them clearly displayed above the foliage. Its compact size also makes it a good choice for smaller planting areas, where larger plants could easily dominate.
There is plenty of versatility to this Pansy, too. It grows happily in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, while its hardy nature means it can cope with the cooler weather that comes with autumn and winter. Regularly picking off faded flowers encourages more to follow and keeps the plant looking fresh, so it is easy to maintain alongside the other seasonal jobs in the garden. With large flowers, distinctive markings, and a compact habit, Lavender Shades adds a little more interest than a straightforward block of colour.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Pansies generally do not need heavy feeding, particularly when growing in reasonably fertile compost or soil. Too much fertiliser can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers, so a light touch is best.
How to Water
Keep an eye on the soil during dry spells, as Pansies still need moisture even when temperatures are cooler. Water when the surface begins to dry, taking particular care with plants in containers where compost can dry out more quickly.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot and prepare the soil by removing any weeds and breaking up compacted areas before planting. Set the Pansies into the prepared ground or compost at regular intervals, leaving enough space between each plant for the foliage to develop and the flowers to form a full display.
