Decadent double flowers of silky, ruffled burgundy speckled with a golden eye. Frizzle Sizzle Burgundy' is a real show stopper of a pansy - even the foliage with its little indents, calls for closer inspection. With F1 hybrid vigour and winter hardiness, this is a great bedding or pot plant that is early to flower.

Keep well watered, and feed with a good, high potash fertiliser (such as Tomorite) on a regular basis. Pinching off the spent flowers will encourage more to form. Protect young plants from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps.
Late winter, spring and autumn sowings can be done in a cold frame, into trays of good seed compost and gradually hardened off before planting out. Alternatively sow directly into a well-prepared seed bed in late spring to early summer, or in autumn. Gently thin the seedlings out to 15cm apart when they are large enough to handle.
