Surprising Facts About Pansies

Welcome!

With the weather being extremely mild these last days of December quite a few of my Southern Blooms are still thriving.

Such a nice treat and a balm to my spirit too.

I thought I'd share some fun facts on one of the sweetest and brightest blossoms in the Garden and that is the pansy.

I am enjoying these sweet beauties and I thought you might enjoy a few photos and interesting facts on  them too.

Sunny days and temperatures in the 80's have turned my thoughts of Christmas to a mindset of Gardening, especially with these pansies are putting on such a colorful show.

Truthfully I am so eager to begin working in the soil!

Pansies can be dead-headed too.

Will My Pansies Come Back?

I have lived in a variety of planting zones and in each one of these zones I have grown pansies.

I find that more often than not I plant pansies in containers because just a few plants make for a colorful and abundant display.

Since pansies have little tolerance for Frost they are often times referred to as Springs Charmers, so if you are living in a colder climate you will most likely look forward to Spring to plant them.

However if you are like me and live in a State with mild Winters you will find them lovely for Fall plantings.

Once the Southern the heat sets in the pansy will no longer bloom.
