Pansy

Brief Description

Pansies are small, annual or short-lived perennial plants known for their vibrant, often multi-colored flowers. The flowers typically have five petals, with two slightly overlapping upper petals, two side petals, and a single bottom petal. They come in a wide array of colors, including purple, blue, yellow, white, orange, and red, often with contrasting blotches or 'faces' in the center.

Care Instructions

Pansies prefer cool weather and well-drained, fertile soil. Plant them in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, especially in warmer climates where afternoon shade can prevent wilting. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more flowers and prolong the blooming period. They can be grown in beds, borders, containers, or window boxes.
