Seed Needs, Clear Crystals Black Pansy Seeds - 600 Heirloom Seeds for Planting Viola x wittrockiana - Deep Burgundy/Black Blooms, Edible Flowers (2 Packs)

Arrived quickly. Starting growing within a few days.

I had ordered these awhile ago, and they've finally started to bloom. They are so beautiful. I definitely suggest buying these.

The media could not be loaded.  I have never been able to find true black Pansies until now. I planted them late April and I can’t wait for the seedlings to be plants and then bloom. I will update when they do!

***UPDATE***Black blooms are starting to come out!!!I am leaving it at 4stars because there are purples mixed in, BUT the blacks that are coming out are truly black!!!These produced no black blooms. I have had Molly Sanderson in the past, and they are black (if they aren’t, they appear to be). These were purple. I’m not a big fan of purple - especially with an olive green house. Really disappointed…

I would say maybe a couple hundred if that

I finally got around to planting these this year and noticed that I have two very distinct leaves. The pansy leaf and then a camomile leaf. I was unsure if this was maybe the process and asked a nursery worker to identify, and sure enough, a mix of camomile and pansies.

I planted these as seeds in an outdoor planter in fall. It is now early spring and they are wonderful. They are actually a very deep purple, almost black.

*update. I previously gave a one star rating. My first blooms were all purple and yellow mixes. Then, I started to get “black blooms.” The blooms lasted a long time and were gorgeous. They are a lovely dark shade. They continued to bloom for months, but were more of a mixture of purple, yellow and white, with some “black” blooms. They aren’t true black, but they are pretty darn close. These seeds withstood winter storm Uri in Houston. I sowed them BEFORE the storm, and they still survived and then thrived. Will purchase again.
