Cool Wave Lemon F1 Pansy is a vigorous trailing pansy that produces masses of cheerful soft lemon-yellow flowers over a spreading, cascading plant. The delicate pastel blooms brighten cool-season gardens with a fresh, sunny appearance while the award-winning Cool Wave growth habit quickly fills containers, hanging baskets, and landscape beds. This F1 hybrid is prized for its exceptional cold tolerance, rapid spreading habit, and remarkably long flowering season, often blooming from fall through spring in mild climates or from early spring into early summer in colder regions.
Garden Uses:
Outstanding for hanging baskets, window boxes, patio containers, raised beds, borders, retaining walls, groundcover plantings, and mass landscape displays. Cool Wave Lemon pairs beautifully with purple violas, blue lobelia, white alyssum, pink dianthus, ornamental kale, flowering cabbage, snapdragons, and spring bulbs. The soft yellow flowers blend easily with nearly every cool-season color palette.
Growing Information:
Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before transplanting or sow outdoors during late summer or early spring where conditions permit. Cover seed lightly and maintain even moisture during germination. Plant in full sun during cool weather or provide afternoon shade where spring temperatures warm quickly. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering and occasional deadheading encourage heavier flowering, although Cool Wave varieties naturally produce abundant blooms with minimal maintenance. Plants typically grow 6–8 inches tall while spreading 24–30 inches or more.
