Tufted Pansy is so called because the growth is lulled yet creeping, in opposition to those kinds with straggling stems which rarely bloom for many weeks. The Pansy is a good garden plant, and one to group freely in conspicuous positions, by itself, or, better still, in association with other things. Beds and borders may be margined with it, or it may be planted amongst dwarf shrubs, su h as hardy Azaleas, choosing always rather damp spots, not exposed to the lull force of a summer sun.

Plant either in the autumn or the spring, choosing the first-named season when an early display of flowers is desired.
