Some Pansy Tips
Pansies perform best when they've been planted in Fall.
Plant Pansies in the Fall for best results and for color into the Spring - Planted under deciduous trees, the winter sun will warm them and the leaves will shade them into early Summer's heat. When pansies start to stretch, replace with annuals.
Perk up February Pansies with water soluble fertilizer for a quicker picker upper.
Plant drifts of colored pansies and merge and blend colors to each other.
Pansies are edible; try garnishing your plates and table with splashes of color.
Plan ahead -- If you use crimson or red Christmas decorations by your porch, plant red or crimson pansies now in front of gold mums -- the flowers will decorate for you!
Replant your summer pots with pansies for fresh color to take you through Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Press your favorite pansy blooms for making stationery for gifts or for yourself.
Use pansy flowers in potpourri. Dry the blooms on a screen in a dark, dry room (like a furnace room), and mix with essential oils.
Viola are small perennial versions of pansies: They'll provide surprising pleasure for years, with little attention from you.
