Description
the pansy is a type of large-flowered hybrid plant. It is derived by hybridization from several species in the section Melanium of the genus Viola, particularly Viola tricolor, a wildflower of Europe and western Asia known as heartsease. Some of these hybrids are referred to as Viola. For simplicity, the older name Viola tricolor var.hortensis is often used.
The pansy flower is two to three inches in diameter and has two slightly overlapping upper petals, two side petals, and a single bottom petal with a slight beard emanating from the flower's center. These petals are usually white or yellow, purplish, or blue. The plant may grow to nine inches in height, and prefers sun to varying degrees and well-draining soils.
Pansies are fragrant and edible blooms The pansy is linked forever to the viola, its ancestor. Viola is a large genus containing 500 species.
The viola family includes both pansies and violets, the former most loved for their perky faces and the latter for their pretty perfume.
Pansy flowers are single with five petals that are rounded in shape.
Pansy flowers have one of three basic color patterns. Blooms can be single, clear color, such as yellow or blue. A second pattern is a single color having black lines radiating from its center. These lines are called penciling and are similar to viola markings. The last type of flower is probably the one of the most familiar. The bloom of this type has a dark center called a "face".
