The blooms of the Atlas series pansies are large (about 2" across) and virtually faceless. They are very showy on a border or in a pot. I have found them more likely to winter over in our Zone 3 area than most others. I have grown the yellow, white, and orange. One orange plant wintered over in my south bed for three seasons. Additional available colors are purple, blue and rose.
