The Black Pansy boasts velvety, near-black petals that create a striking contrast against its bright yellow or white centers. The dark coloration gives it an air of mystery and elegance. Its blooms can vary in size, typically measuring around 2 to 4 inches in diameter.

🌱 Growth Habit:

• Compact Growth: Black Pansies have a compact growth habit, making them suitable for both garden beds and containers.
• Season: They are often cultivated as cool-season annuals, thriving in the spring and fall when temperatures are moderate.
• Sunlight: These pansies prefer full to partial sunlight. They can tolerate cooler temperatures, but excessive heat might cause them to wither.
• Soil: Well-draining soil with organic matter is ideal for Black Pansies. Adding compost can improve soil structure.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging, as soggy conditions can lead to root rot.
• Fertilization: Regularly feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
• Pruning: Removing faded blooms (deadheading) encourages continuous flowering.
• Hardiness: While not the hardiest of pansy varieties, Black Pansies can tolerate light frost and colder temperatures better than warmer ones.
