Flowers are cream to blue, often with both colors mixed in varying patterns within the flower.
Flowers have five petals, with the lowest petal having a cup-like projection extending to the back of the flower. Leaf shape varies, with the lowest leaves being rounded, and upper leaves being narrower at the base than at the tip of the leaf. At the base of each leaf smaller, highly divided sets of leaf-like stipules are found. Field pansy plants are four to ten inches tall. They generally grow in groups, right in and among strawberry plants.
