Pansy – Swiss Giant

$5.00

Heirloom, Splash of Early Season Color!

Spring blossoms bring a splash of color to the garden. Swiss Giant is the parent to most of the pansies available today. Bushy, 6 to 9 inch plants produce large, velvety flowers in a mix of colors including blue, purple, yellow, apricot, orange, mahogany, red, white, and bi-colors. Most have “faces” or are blotched. Edible petals can be used to garnish soft cheese or baked goods. Cool-season flower grows in full sun to part shade. Deer resistant and frost tolerant perennial in zones 6 and up; often grown as an annual, reseed readily. Swiss heirloom and a 1933 All-America Selections winner. Sold in 4 inch pot.

Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅

& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

I was off to trim back the salvia today, when I fo I was off to trim back the salvia today, when I found this crab spider with a hoverfly in its grasp.

Unfortunately, it dropped the half eaten insect just as I was about to snap the photo. 

But then this ant appeared, and nearly became dessert. 🍰

It kept running up to the spider and then running away. Who can blame it? 😱

Crab spiders are ambush predators. They don't spin webs, but live on flowers, often blending in and changing body color, waiting to snatch their next meal of bees and flying insects. 

It's hard to see, but its body had a slight purple tinge to match the salvia flower it was nestled against.

I skipped the trimming of the salvia. 😂
