Refresh Spring & Summer Color
Are your summer containers looking a little sad?
It's time to replace your spring and summer color like petunias, begonias, marigolds, etc.
Pansies & Violas
Now is the time to plant pansies & violas so they can establish and provide garden and container garden color throughout fall, winter and even early spring
Pansies & violas are annuals
Need to be planted each year
Great selection of different colors; every color from pale pastels to vibrant reds and yellows
Pansies & violas are in the same family
Pansies: Usually refer to plants with large, showy blooms.
Violas: Blooms are smaller in size but the plants tend to bloom more profusely
There's a new type of pansy called the "Cool Wave Pansy"
Cool Wave pansies grow faster so you'll have larger plants with more blooms faster
Cool Wave pansies also spread up to 2 feet so you can space the plants further apart
Elle Pot Pansies
Elle Pot pansies are a traditional pansy in an untraditional pot
There isn't a pot which cuts down on waste
Elle Pot pansies are faster to plant
Our landscape manager planted Elle pot pansies in all of the store landscapes and couldn't believe how quick they were to plant
Sale
This weekend all 4 pack pansies & violas are now $1.87 – reg. $2.29!
