Pansy 'Black Delight'

Viola tricolor 'Black Delight' is an exquisite biennial pansy, celebrated for its uniquely deep, velvety black flowers that possess a subtle yet striking beauty. These enigmatic blooms, often featuring a tiny yellow eye, create a sophisticated and dramatic statement in pots, window boxes, or at the front of borders. Flowering prolifically from autumn through spring, and often into early summer if kept cool, it provides invaluable colour during the colder months when little else is in bloom. 'Black Delight' thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Fully hardy in the UK (H7), it can be grown as an annual for continuous displays or allowed to self-seed for a more natural look. Regular deadheading will encourage more blooms.
