Description
- None of the original pansies introduced in the 1800s by the Vilmorin Company of Paris still exist by their true names
- Fortunately for gardeners, seeds man Kees Sahin kept a collection of 13,000 violas in the Netherlands
- Through his incredible knowledge of historic varieties, Kees reassembled a mixture closely resembling the original Bambini Mixture from Vilmorin
- The flowers are reminiscent of little smiling faces with distinct whiskers
- Self-seeding biennial, 6-8-inch tall
