Pansies are one of the joys of the cool season gardening. We expect that as one of the first flowers in the kindergarten shelves in the spring, but they are also great in the autumn. Gardener in warmer climates come their smiling faces all winter. Some of the newer pansies can bloom through a light snow, and much later in the heat of the summer. But we really need them if it is too cold for most other plants in a show. Pansy, which in the spring planted can back cut off and between summer pants, be updated and autumn flowering business internal. You blossom always out my mums and asters. And their flowers are edible! So, if in the past, Pansy pooh-poohed you have, it's time to give them a different look.
