Abstract
Pansy cultivars were evaluated for number of days to flower, flower size, flower color, plant habit, plant dimensions, weather tolerance, floriferousness, uniformity, and overall appearance during the winters of 1994–95 and 1995–96. In 1994–95, the number of days from sowing of seed to first flower among 122 cultigens ranged from 68 days for `Allegro Beaconsfield' to 94 days for `Springtime New Red'. Flower diameter ranged from 4.1 cm for `Allegro Pure Yellow' to 6.5 cm for `Bingo Yellow with Blotch'. Plant height after 114 to 122 days from seed sowing ranged from 11.4 cm for `Allegro Pure Orange' to 19.7 cm for `Fama See-Me'. Subjective ratings showed few differences among the cultigens in plant uniformity and floriferousness, but differences with respect to overall appearance. In 1995–96, the number of days from seed sowing to first flower for 113 cultigens ranged from 75 days for `Rally Light Blue with Blotch' to 97 days for `Happy Face White'. Flower diameter ranged from 4.8 cm for `Sprite Beaconsfield' and `Sprite Yellow' to 7.5 cm for `Bingo Yellow with Blotch'. Plant height at 140 to 143 days after seed sowing ranged from 12.4 cm for `Maxim Chiffon' to 26.5 cm for `Universal Plus White'. Subjective ratings showed no differences among the cultigens in plant uniformity or overall appearance and few differences in floriferousness or flower display.
