Common bedding plant (5)

I believe the answer is:

pansy

(Other definitions for pansy that I've seen before include "Bedding plant" , "Type of viola" , "Garden plant with large flowers of various colours" , "Flower - effeminate person" , "Rich-coloured flower with summer and winter varieties" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
