Their variety and versatility make them a welcome addition to borders, patio containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, and flower beds. Non-blotched forms are also available. Color selection is another attractive feature.
Pansies are available in every color of the rainbow.
They offer some of the best shades of blue found in annual flowers. Most have color combinations of 2 or 3 different colors or various shades of the same color. Old varieties had problems blooming when temperatures soared during the summer months. However, the newer hybrids possess improved heat tolerance and plant vigor. Pansy selection can be a confusing experience if your garden center offers a large variety.
