Any really truly BLUE pansies?

Posted by dublinbay z6 KS (My Page) on

Is there such a thing as a truly blue pansy? I've seen some pale blue ones--bought them last year, but when I got home they were more washed out lavender blue. I'm looking for a true-blue--a full-bodied true blue would be even better. I keep thinking somewhere once upon a time I saw a two-toned pansy that had rich blue and pale blue markings--but maybe that is just wishful dreaming on my part.

Thanks for any input.

RE: Any really truly BLUE pansies?

There certainly are -- I haven't grown any of the named strains myself, but they are everywhere in evidence come spring (often, but not always, in mixtures with other solid colors). However, you can go to the link below for a listing of some contemporary strains of pansies, including some that are indeed a true, solid blue. Look especially for the ones with "True Blue" in their name, as this is their main selling point.

Here is a link that might be useful: Pansy series/strains
