Pansy Prima Punch 'Orange Blotch' | Viola × wittrockiana
Brighten your garden with a burst of cheerful colour. The Pansy Prima Punch Orange Blotch is a bedding plant that simply refuses to go unnoticed. Each bloom glows in warm, golden-orange tones, dramatically accented by a bold central blotch that gives the flowers their playful “face.” In Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate, pansies thrive in the cooler months (autumn through spring, April-October), filling borders, pots, and window boxes with long-lasting colour when many other plants fade. Sold in a convenient 6-pack, they’re perfect for mass planting, edging pathways, or mixing with violas and primroses for a dazzling seasonal display. These pansies aren’t just flowers, they’re little bursts of joy, designed to keep your garden glowing with personality and warmth through the cooler seasons.
