This looked like a nice pansy at the greenhouse, but it suffered badly in the spot I planted them. On my hot, windy, south-facing patio, they were blown over until prostrate. They survived, but I like my pansies upright, not horizontal. I transplanted them to a spot where they were sheltered by a Brugmansia and they came back somewhat. Still, they aren't good for a windy spot.
