Pansy 'Alpensee'
Botanical Name: Viola x wittrockiana 'Alpensee'
Type: Hardy Annual / Short-Lived Perennial (often grown as an annual)

Pansy 'Alpensee' is a classic, cold-tolerant pansy variety featuring velvety deep blue to purple blooms with subtle dark markings and a golden-yellow centre. Its compact habit and early flowering make it ideal for borders, containers, and winter or spring bedding.
