Spring Matrix™ Blue Wing Pansy

Spring Matrix™ Blue Wing is a cool-season pansy bred for large, thick-petaled flowers on sturdy stems. It performs well in spring and autumn plantings, and can continue flowering through mild winter weather. ## Site and size Plant in full sun to partial sun in moist, well-drained soil. Plants form a mound about 8–10 inches tall and wide, making them useful in packs, containers, borders, and mass plantings. [Ball Seed’s plant information](https://info.ballseed.com/webtrackplantinfo.aspx?ENV=P&phid=046706351021442) confirms the PAS955437 selection, blue coloring, seasonal bloom, mounded habit, and 8–10-inch spread. It notes that the large flowers can reach about 3 inches across and hold well in cool, wet production. ## Seasonal display The Spring Matrix series is selected for short days and cool growing conditions. Blue Wing’s color becomes stronger under cool temperatures, and its flowers can brighten beds and pots when many warm-season plants are resting. Use it as a seasonal annual and refresh the planting as heat arrives. ## Maintenance Water regularly enough to keep the soil evenly moist, while allowing containers and beds to drain. Feed according to the fertilizer label for bedding plants. Remove faded flowers and tired plants if you want a neat display, and replace the planting as temperatures rise.
