Ruffles and smiling faces are the hallmarks of this fantastic new European variety, which is available for the very first time in this country for spring. These cheerful 2-inch blooms are 100% ruffled, as compared to older varieties where the ruffles tend to be erratic and scarce. And the flowers turn upward instead of nodding, giving you a much showier display than larger-flowered types that shyly hide their faces. Fkirty Skirts has become “the” container Pansy in Europe, and is ready to create a sensation in your garden, too.

There are two color blends in this mix: Blue, which offers a bright confection of white, yellow, and various shades of purple and blue; and Burgundy, which combines deep reddish-purple and blue with jet-black markings. These blooms seem larger than they really are, thanks to the ruffling, which adds texture and depth to the display. Expect them to appear heavily in spring, fall, and winter in mild and warm climates, and from spring ’til hard frost farther north.

Flirty Skirts starts blooming earlier than older Pansies, too. Very well-branched and compact, this vigorous little plant begins setting buds faster than most others, and just doesn’t seem to know how to stop. It’s great in containers, but also looks fine in the annual bed, reaching just 6 inches wide and, when not in bloom, 6 inches high. The abundant flowers add another 3 to 6 inches to its side, spilling merrily in all directions. Very attractive and so easy! Packet is 25 seeds.
