Cool Wave® Mixture Spreading Pansy

Cool Wave® Mixture is a cool-season spreading pansy that combines several flower colors in one vigorous planting. Its low, trailing growth makes it useful where flowers can spill over an edge or cover the front of a seasonal bed. ## Garden use Use it in hanging baskets, patio containers, window boxes, and sunny borders. Plants typically reach 6–8 inches tall and spread 24–30 inches, so give each plant room to trail rather than crowding it against upright annuals. The mixture is selected for spring and autumn color, and the flowers can continue through mild winter weather. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny position with at least six hours of direct light and keep the root zone evenly supplied with water while the plant is actively growing. In a container, use a free-draining potting mix and check moisture more often as the foliage fills the pot. Cool Wave pansies tolerate frost; in colder gardens, a light winter mulch can help plants return in spring. ## Maintenance Feed regularly during active growth to support continued flowering, and remove faded flowers and damaged foliage as needed to keep baskets and borders tidy.
