Description: Pansy 'Blotch Mix' is a colourful cool-season flowering perennial commonly grown as an annual, valued for its large, cheerful blooms featuring distinctive dark central blotches that create a striking "face" effect. This vibrant mix produces flowers in a wide range of colours including yellow, purple, blue, white, pink, red and burgundy, providing exceptional seasonal colour throughout autumn, winter and spring. Forming a compact mound of lush green foliage, Pansy 'Blotch Mix' is ideal for garden beds, borders, containers, hanging baskets and mass plantings. It thrives in Melbourne's cooler conditions and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering and keeps plants looking fresh. Its long flowering season, broad colour range and excellent garden performance make it a favourite for creating eye-catching seasonal displays.
