Description
- Swiss Giants Mix’, heirloom pansies, are large-flowered evergreen perennials, usually grown as cool weather annuals or biennials, offering spring and fall interest, blooming all winter in mild climates.
- Long blooming, the plants produce rounded blue, orange, purple, red, white, and yellow flowers with a contrasting dark blotch for up to 4 to 6 months. Borne singly on upright, nodding stems, the flowers have a fragrance and make adorable kitchen table bouquets or cheeky additions to floral displays. And butterflies flock to them.
- Delicate looking but tough and highly adaptable, these hardy herbaceous plants have a tidy, rounded, mounding habit of ovate to elliptic medium to dark green leaves. They grow best in full sun to dappled shade and loose, rich, humusy, organic soil, but they will grow in almost any moist, well-drained soil.
- For best effect, mass plant or group. The plants are well-suited to containers and hanging baskets but also work well in beds and borders. Deadheading spent flowers prolongs blooming.

It’s going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! “Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money.” The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park’s original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
