Royal Velvet Pansy (Viola x 'Chalon Giants') - Description

In 1800 there were no large pansies, only Johnny-jump-ups and other small violas. By 1870, European breeders had transformed those tiny flowers into the big, colorful spring and fall bloomers we know today. We offer one of the fragrant antique classics - Yellow, violet red, blue and white, with dark brown or black faces.
