Cool Wave® Lemon Spreading Pansy

Cool Wave Lemon bears clear, buttery lemon-yellow blooms with softer dark-yellow shading in the center. Its spreading, trailing stems are suited to hanging baskets, patio planters and sunny groundcover. ## Growing and seasonal color The bright flowers bring early-spring color alongside spring bulbs and continue the display into autumn and winter. The selection flowers from early spring through late spring and returns in autumn and winter. Its 6–8-inch height and 24–30-inch spread suit planters and bed edges where the trailing stems can spill outward. [PanAmerican Seed's exact selection page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/046706339002888/spreading-pansy-cool-wave-lemon/) describes the variety and its growing profile. Pansies grow in full sun to part shade and prefer humus-rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil, according to [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/viola-x-wittrockiana/). ## Garden care Cool Wave pansies work in hanging baskets, patio planters and garden beds. The [Wave profile](https://www.wavegardening.com/en-us/Flowers/PlantInformation?phid=046706339002888) recommends sun, medium watering and feeding every two weeks. Pansy flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators; deadheading spent blooms can prolong flowering. Remove plants when summer heat ends the display. ## Maintenance Water to keep the root zone evenly moist without waterlogging. Feed every two weeks during active growth, deadhead spent flowers, and remove plants when summer heat causes flowering to decline.
