from Mid-America catalog 981:merica catalog 1981: PANSY ROYALE (P. Smith 77) is one of those beautiful creations that unfortunately has been overlooked. This is the finest deep pansy-violet on the market. The flower form is classic and color smooth and alluring. Unlike many in this class, this one has ramrod stiff stalks that don't fall over. Add to this 3 and sometimes 4 branches and an easy 10-12 buds, excellent plant vigor ard increase and you have it all. |
