Pansies can be planted from late September through November. When planting late in the season, be sure to choose strong, healthy plants with blooms or at least buds on them. If you plant young, small plants during the later planting, you may wait until spring for good flowers. When it comes to varieties of pansies the list continues to grow each year. Almost all varieties in this series have the traditional dark blotch or face, and they come in blue, purple,white, yellow and red.
Colors range from white to yellow, true blue, rose, orange, violet and a scarlet color.
The Crown series of pansies are also clear colors with slightly larger flowers ranging in color from orange, red, white, yellow and blue. Some unique types of pansies include the Imperial Antiques which give soft, blended colors. Each flower changes subtly from opening to maturity. Another interesting series is the Joker series. The Joker Light Blue has an outstanding flower with a light purple outer color with a white band leading to a dark purple blotch.
