The pansy is native to continental Europe. Grown as Half-hardy annuals or as biennials. A member of the Violaceae family. So hardy, their foliage remains green and attractive for long periods even in winter. The Pansy is one of our most useful, bestknown flowers, blooming long before less hardy annuals.
Pansies are their colorful bestduring the cool of very early spring.
They prefer cool weather and can tolerate some frost. Prolong flowering by regular removal of dead blooms. Useful in beds, low borders, window boxes, tubs, and pots. When grown indoors as a houseplant they will bloom during the winter. Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before transplanting outdoors.
