Cool Wave® pansies are a highly vigorous, trailing variety known as the best-performing spreading pansy for cool-season color, filling containers and landscape beds quickly. Growing 6–8 inches tall and spreading up to 30 inches, they trail over edges in "spiller" fashion. They are cold-hardy, durable in rain/weather, and bloom in many colors. Key Characteristics & Benefits: Trailing Habit: Unlike upright pansies, these create a cascading effect up to 18–30 inches long in hanging baskets, pots, and as a groundcover. Fast Growth & Cold Hardiness: They are fast-growing, long-lasting, and can survive over winter in zones 5–7. Low Maintenance: They are low-maintenance, fragrant, and require less frequent planting due to their wide spread. Bloom Performance: They have slightly smaller blooms than traditional pansies, but produce a higher volume of flowers. Growing Tips: Light: Full sun to partial shade. Spacing: Plant 10 to 12 inches apart for groundcover. Soil: Well-drained soil. Maintenance: Deadhead for maximum blooming.
