Pansy

Brief Description

Pansies (Viola x wittrockiana) are small, flowering plants known for their large, colourful, and often bicolored petals, resembling a human face. Petals have rounded shape and are soft to the touch, mostly in 5 petals with 2 upper petals, 2 side petals, and one bottom petal, which is the largest and has lines, also known as 'face' marking.

Care Instructions

Pansies prefer full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly and fertilize every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Medicinal Value

Pansies have been traditionally used in folk medicine to treat various ailments, including skin conditions, respiratory problems, and inflammatory issues. However, modern scientific evidence supporting these uses is limited, and they should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment.
