Pansies are popular, cool-weather garden flowers.
They come in a wide range of colors, markings, and sizes. The ideal temperature range for pansies is 40F at night to 60F during the day. They produce their best flower show in the spring, then fade during the hot, summer weather, when they are usually removed and annuals planted in their place. During the warmer growing season, you may need to irrigate to maintain an adequate moisture level and to water-in fertilizer when it is applied. Never water pansies in the late afternoon or evening since this encourages disease development.
