I also plan to plant daffodils and tulips. Because it has been so hot, will this hurt my bulbs if I go ahead and plant them now. Otherwise, I am afraid I will damage my pansies when I plant them later. You could go ahead and plant both, but to be honest, I would hold off on the pansy planting, if this heat lingers. Pansies and hot temperatures don t meld well together.
Heat causes pansies to stretch and get leggy.
Wait for cooler temperatures before planting both plants and bulbs if you can. After our recent bout with winter, my pansies are cooked. I thought pansies were winter hardy and can take freezing temperatures. Normally pansies are very winter hardy and will freeze solid during cold weather, to defrost and bloom again. We can again blame the mild fall and early winter for the problems with our pansies now.
