Matrix® True Blue Pansy

Matrix® True Blue Pansy is a mounded, extra-large-flowered pansy in the Matrix series with fragrant flowers. Ball Seed lists it for early spring, spring, autumn and winter bloom, with an 8-inch height and an 8–10 inch spread. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. The [PanAmerican True Blue product profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/046704283000743/pansy-matrix-true-blue/) gives the mature height and spread, mounded habit, medium water needs and seasonal bloom schedule. The [NC State Extension pansy guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/viola-x-wittrockiana/) describes pansies as cool-season plants for evenly moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. ## Garden Uses Use it in containers, borders, beds or mass plantings where its large flowers can be enjoyed close up. Matrix pansies are selected for uniform flowering time and habit, and the series is described as low maintenance for landscape and container displays. ## Maintenance Remove spent flowers to keep the display tidy and encourage continued flowering. Water regularly enough to maintain even soil moisture, especially in containers, and adjust care to local weather as temperatures rise.
