Matrix (TM) White Blotch Pansy overwintered in Calgary!

I couldn't believe it but I had a few flowering annuals overwinter, in spite of having every temperature imaginable and multiple cycles of warm and cold. These little guys sprang back to life. The freeze-dried flowers just picked up where they had left off last fall!

I don't usually notice the exact variety of plants I buy on the fly as it were, particularly the pansy and petunia types.

However, I left the little label stick in the ground (tacky but effective) so I know what these are.

I'm very impressed!
