It’s Time to Grow Your Autumn Plant Sales!

Looking for a Pansy which will cascade over the sides of hanging baskets and planters providing colour even in the dullest days of winter? Well look no further.  Ball Colegrave have the answer.

 

Pansy Cool Wave® is like no other Pansy. Plants trail and spread effortlessly up to 60cm to fill baskets, containers and garden borders fast, with exceptional weather performance and superior overwintering qualities.

 

Being far less day length sensitive than other Pansy varieties, Cool Wave® is the first to break into colour in early spring, delivering incredible flower power to the home garden and providing retailers with an early start to Pansy colour sales.

 

The unique natural branching and controlled habit mean Cool Wave® are ideally suited for retail-ready hanging baskets, patio containers and 9-13cm pot sales.

 

Vigorous plants with a unique, true trailing and spreading habit
Extremely floriferous, medium sized blooms
Exceptional overwintering performance… and the first Pansy to re-bloom in the Spring!
Plants naturally branch … no pinching or PGR’s required

Perfect fit for anywhere in the garden; flower beds, baskets, window boxes and containers


Available as Seed or Ball 230 and Ball 104 plugs in 14 distinct colours and 3 mixtures. Ball Colegrave highly recommend the Ball 230 plug for pot and pack production and the Ball 104 plug to drop directly into a hanging baskets and larger pots.

 

How to Create Easy Autumn Colour with Pansy Cool Wave®:
