Pansy (scientific name: Viola tricolor L.).), is a perennial herbaceous plant from the genus Violet in the family Violaceae, but is often cultivated as a biennial in practical applications. Native to Europe, it is known as the pansy because its flowers usually have three colors, and it is also the national flower of Iceland and Poland.
Morphological characteristics: Basal leaves: The basal leaves of pansy are oblong ovate or lanceolate, with long stalks, and the leaves are thick in texture, often with serrated or rounded edges.
Stem-borne leaves: The leaves of the stem are slightly smaller in shape than the basal leaves, may be ovate, oblong, or oblong-lanceolate, with a bluntly rounded apex and slightly rounded or obtusely serrated margins.
Flowers: The diameter of the flowers is about 2-4 cm, and each flower usually shows purple, white, and yellow colors, or depending on the variety, there are rich color combinations such as red, pink, and blue. The central area of the flower is usually one color, and the petal edges or patches are another, creating a striking contrast. Some varieties have spotted, i.e. dark spots or patterns on the petals, adding more ornamental value.
