Description

An autumn to winter garden charmer! 'Solar Flare' isn�t just any pansy, it�s a striking variety that practically shouts colour. Boasting fiery orange blooms that deepen into dramatic near-black centres, topped with bright eyes, these flowers are unmistakable and unforgettable.

It�s not all show though. This variety is built to last. It manages winter like a pro, handling frost and cold with composure, then bursting back into life when conditions improve. Their uniform habit and overwintering strength are so impressive.

Ready to pack any container, border, or window display with vibrancy right out of the box, you�ll appreciate their neat, consistent look and the immediate visual impact they offer.

Supplied as a set of 30 garden ready plants, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.

Care Information

Planting Advice:

Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they�ll quickly recover.
Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry.
They don�t like to be left in standing water.
Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.

Aftercare:

Regular maintenance and watering are essential to grow fabulous containers that last the whole season.
Check and water containers every day in summer, (unless the compost is wet).
Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers.
From March to June, apply a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a week.

Pruning and Trimming:

Deadhead and trim your plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage new flowers.
Do not allow plants to set seed.
