There are many popular Floribunda. Goodspeed says the latest to impress most growers are the 'Maxi', 'Padparadja', and 'Universal' series.

Getting them planted this time of the year encourages blossoming as soon as the snow melts in the spring.
Pansies thrive in the cooler spring weather.
These colorful flowers need plenty of water when the weather is hot. During cool periods, cut back on the water to prevent root rot or other problems. There should also be some buds on the plants for future blossoms. Look at the roots.
