Pansies are an eternal favourite for cool weather blooms!
They like lots of water in well drained soil. They like sun but cooler weather. They are perfect for pots or flower beds & ground cover, as they are surprisingly robust little plants!
Pansy blooms come in a huge variety of colours, from black to white, red to orange to yellow, as well as purple & blue.
This flower derives its name from the French word for thought, pansee. As a result, the pansy is a symbol of thought and thoughtfulness.
Pansies are not commercially grow cut flowers but are widely used in food decoration, as pansies are one of several edible garden flowers! They have a mild minty flavour.
As they have shorter stems, when picked, they are perfect for small ornate vases. Taking up less room, they are beautiful blooms for your nightstand or bathroom sink! They may not last as long as some blooms, but their little faces bring just as much joy!
