Plant description
Pansy 'Cool Wave Violet Wing' delivers an extraordinary floral performance with blooms featuring a deep purple cap dramatically contrasting against a cheerful white-and-yellow centre that evolves beautifully across autumn, winter, and spring landscapes.
More vigorous and spreading than traditional pansies, this cultivar requires no pinching and demonstrates remarkable resilience, bouncing back from harsh weather conditions that would devastate lesser plants.
Ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and ground cover applications, 'Cool Wave Violet Wing' offers gardeners an exceptional trailing cultivar that produces continuous displays of medium-sized, lightly scented flowers with outstanding overwintering performance.
Whether softening the edges of containers, creating dynamic combinations with other plants, or providing a bold groundcover solution, this pansy brings a professional designer's touch to every garden setting, thriving in conditions that would challenge more delicate cultivars.
