Park Seed Cool Wave Pansy Seeds

Since these plants have a vigorous spreading habit that reaches up to 30 inches wide, you should space them about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow them enough room to fill in properly.

Yes, they are an excellent choice for hanging baskets. Their trailing habit allows them to cascade over the edges, creating a lush, full look that is hard to achieve with standard upright pansies.

Cool Wave pansies are remarkably cold-tolerant and are bred to bounce back from adverse weather. They are well-suited for spring and fall planting and can often persist through winter in milder climates.

They perform best in full sun to part shade. In areas with very hot afternoons, a spot with some afternoon shade will help keep the plants vigorous and blooming longer.

While they spread quite wide—up to 30 inches—they stay relatively low, reaching a mature height of about 8 inches. This makes them ideal for groundcover or the base of container arrangements.

These pansies thrive in normal, loamy soil that is kept consistently moist but well-drained. Ensure your containers or garden beds have good drainage to prevent water from pooling around the roots.
