PANSIES & VIOLAS
Pansies, and their cousins the violas and violets, are one of the most popular and recognizable cool weather annuals. However, no breeds tolerate heat very well. Although delicate, they are surprisingly hardy, and many are surprised to hear that their the flowers are edible.
Pansies are striking cool weather flowers with almost heart-shaped, overlapping petals in bright colors with oftentimes face-like center markings. The names ‘pansy’ and ‘viola’ are often interchangeable to many gardeners, and often close enough so that only the serious gardener or botanist cares all that much about the differences.
Slugs and aphids can attack pansies, so be on the lookout for them. To encourage new growth, shear the plants back when they start to set seed. This will help encourage new growth. They appreciate monthly fertilizer, but too much food will just make them stringy.
More information is coming soon. For now, enjoy these new pictures!
They’re a great choice for early and late season containers and complement spring flowering bulbs, but it is highly advisable to move them in times of strong summer heat.
Come back for more!
