FAQs
When is the best time to plant out 'Top Wave' pansies?
They are best planted out in early autumn once the plants have been hardened off and are well-established in their pots.
Can these pansies survive a hard frost?
Yes, 'Top Wave' pansies are specifically bred for hardiness and are designed to bounce back from cold, wet winter weather.
Do I need to deadhead these flowers?
While the plants are resilient, regular deadheading will significantly extend the flowering season and keep the plant tidy.
Are these plants fragrant?
Yes, they are the world's first full-sized trailing pansy variety to feature a noticeable fragrance.
What type of soil do they prefer?
They thrive in rich, well-drained compost. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture during the winter.
Troubleshooting
Plants are wilting despite moist soil
Check for waterlogging; 'Top Wave' pansies require excellent drainage to prevent root rot in cold weather.
Sparse flowering or lack of growth
Ensure the plants are receiving enough sunlight and apply a balanced liquid feed to encourage sustained production.
Yellowing leaves
This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage; adjust your watering schedule and ensure the pots have adequate drainage holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, remove your 24 plug plants from the packaging immediately. If you are not ready to plant them directly into their final containers, pot them on into individual small pots using a good quality, well-drained peat-free or multi-purpose compost. Keep them in a frost-free, bright, and airy location such as a greenhouse or a sunny windowsill until they are large enough to be planted outside.
Once the plants have reached a robust size, transplant them into their final positions. Ensure the compost remains moist but not saturated, as this is the most critical factor for their long-term health. To maximize the 'Top Wave' display, apply a liquid fertilizer once every two weeks during the active growth period. Regularly deadheading faded flowers will encourage the plant to divert its energy into producing new buds, extending the display even further.
