Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Luscious, dark, purple pansies. They are somewhat variable but always beautiful. Some are completely black while others are darkest luminescent purple. They make striking color combinations in the garden just think of them with cream or ‘Apricot Chiffon’ California poppies, or the bright orange of Emilia javanica, or apricot snapdragons. What else? They are pictured here offset nicely with the chartreuse foliage of Tanacetum parthenium aureum.
