Colossus Blotch Mix Pansy is a vigorous perennial with a dense and tight, non-stretching habit and dark green leaves. The extra large upward facing flowers are various colors with a dark blotch and bloom from fall through spring in mild winters. Prefers full sun and moist well-drained soils. The Colossus series has improved heat and humidity tolerance and can tolerate a hard freeze if the soil is not dry, otherwise may experience dieback in harsh winters to return in spring.
The Colossus Blotch Mix combines White with Blotch, Yellow with Blotch, Red with Blotch, Purple with Blotch, and Blue with Blotch.
