Key facts about Cool Wave Series pansies

  • 8 in (20 cm) tall, 24-30 in (60-76 cm) spread
  • Part to full sun

This mix of white, blue blush and yellow pansies has a strong trailing habit—a new trait. It’s also winter hardy, like many new pansies. —Rodger Tschanz, University of Guelph

More info:

These are perfect in baskets and window boxes—the long stems will cascade over the edges. Cool Wave pansies also make a good groundcover. Plants usually overwinter, if planted in the ground, not in containers. Blooms are larger than those on Plentifall trailing pansies, an earlier hybrid.

      The Cool Wave pansies are bred to be long blooming and heat resistant. If planted in spring, the pansies should bloom until frost. Fertilize regularly throughout the growing season and keep them watered.
