Viola cornuta
Did you know the name 'pansy' is derived from the French word 'pensée', meaning 'thought'? It's no wonder we keep thinking of these gorgeous flowers. They've been a source of inspiration for many artists over the years, including Georgia O'Keeffe who produced a stunning painting of a Black Pansy in 1926.

- Black Pansy is a heat-sensitive plant and grows best at 18 - 26 °C / 64 - 79 °F. Germination and growth are inhibited if the average temperature reaches 30 °C / 86 °F.
- Pansy may seem a bit slow at the beginning but once it gets going it will grow a lot of leaves and flower stems fast.
- Expect to see the first flowers approximately 50 days after planting.
- Use the little black flowers to garnish your dishes.
- Black Pansy generally requires very little care - just remove withered flowers to promote the growth of new ones.
- Black Pansy grows best if the lamp has just one arm! If the lamp is set too low it may burn your thriving plants. If the lamp is set too high your plants won't get enough light and may grow leggy.
