Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Whoa! Generally we're not that enthralled with giant flowers on short plants, and well, that was the case until we tried these phenomenal "cat-faced" Pansies. Huge, 2.5" across, intensely whiskered blooms of velvety purple and white caused us quickly to forget our bias! Free flowering over a long period of time (deadheading extends it even more) on a compact form, 9" tall and 10" across. Wonderful in pots and purr-fect for the kiddies! Rich soil for amazing show! Edible!
