Field Pansy -viola arvensis– is most commonly found in dry arable field and on waste ground. It is essentially a miniature and paler version of the pansies that are grown in gardens, to which it is closely related. In the wild, Field Pansies can attract the Queen of Spain fritillary, as a breeding butterfly, which will lay it’s eggs on the plant. Field Pansy is a low growing species, with small cream coloured flowers that appear from April to October. Plants look best growing with other low growing wild flowers such as Scarlet Pimpernel, Wild Pansies and Field forget-me-nots. How to grow Field Pansy Seeds Field Pansy seeds should be sown in the spring or autumn, outside, where they are to flower, and covered lightly with soil.
