Cool Wave® Navy Velour Pansy (Viola × wittrockiana ‘Cool Wave® Navy Velour’)

Cool Wave® Navy Velour Pansy (Viola × wittrockiana ‘Cool Wave® Navy Velour’) is a striking cool-season annual prized for its deep navy-blue blooms, vigorous trailing habit, and exceptional garden performance. Part of the award-winning Cool Wave® series, this variety produces masses of velvety flowers that create dramatic displays in hanging baskets, containers, window boxes, and landscape plantings.

The large blooms showcase rich shades of navy blue, indigo, and deep violet with a luxurious velour-like texture. Their bold colouring provides outstanding contrast against green foliage and pairs beautifully with white, yellow, silver, pink, and lavender flowering companions. The flowers attract early-season pollinators and provide weeks of colour during the cool temperatures of spring and fall.

Unlike traditional upright pansies, Cool Wave® Navy Velour develops a spreading and cascading growth habit that allows stems to trail gracefully over container edges and cover larger garden areas. Its cold tolerance allows it to thrive during cool weather, often continuing to bloom through light frosts and extending the gardening season.

In Alberta, Cool Wave® Navy Velour is an excellent choice for early spring and fall plantings, providing reliable colour and vigorous growth when many other annuals are not yet performing.
