Pansies
Pansies are one of the most popular cool weather annuals. Bi-colored pansies make a striking addition to any planting. Although delicate, pansies are surprisingly hardy. Ideal for edging, their compact overlapping petals add delightful color spring through early summer.
Pansies grow best in loose, rich soil and flower best in full sun. They do not like heat and will begin to decline as the days warm up. Regular watering will expand their life cycle but don't expect pansies to last
through the hot summer. You can allow
pansies to remain in your garden and rest
during the hot summer months. Shearing
the plants back when they start to seed
will encourage new growth and
promote reblooming in the fall.
