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. Exceptionally hardy and easy to grow, 'Alpensee' brings rich colour to cool-season displays and continues blooming in cooler temperatures where other flowers fade.
