Here’s a Pansy that pays homage to its Viola roots! Resembling the delightful, old-fashioned Johnny Jump-Up but with much larger blooms of azure-blue complementing the gold, Ultima Morpho is as breathtaking as the rare butterfly for which it is named. Recipient of both a 2002 AAS Award and Europe’s prestigious Fleuroselect Gold Medal, this Pansy is worthy of your finest garden spot!
Early to bloom and wonderfully floriferous, Ultima Morpho is equally adapted to spring and fall climates. Its watercolor-bright petals lift their faces to the sky above well-branched foliage, giving you a great color show. The blooms measure about 2 1/2 inches across, their color blend superbly variable. Mounded plants reach just 6 inches high and wide — compact enough to set as accents, yet colorful enough for a mass display!
This low-growing Pansy complements most spring blooming bulbs as well as annual and perennial plants. In fall, it makes a fine companion to Mums and to late bloomers such as the violet blue Verbena.
Like most Pansies, Ultima Morpho can be planted out in fall to winter over in mild climates, or set out in spring from sowing indoors. It thrives in sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Pkt is 25 seeds.
