Pansy blooms feature heart-shaped, bicolored petals that appear like a live butterfly.

Pansies may be planted at any time of year, although early spring is the ideal.

Pansies need temps below 60 degrees F to flourish. The best planting spot gets morning sun but avoids afternoon heat.

Pansies thrive in full sun to light shade. However, if planted in partial shade, they will live longer and look better.

Pansies flourish in loose, well-drained soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.2.

When you regular water pansies you can expect them to survive a bit longer than usual but they will not last for the whole season.

During wet seasons, slugs are a problem in partially shaded locations. Spread plants or use a slug trap to prevent soggy soil.

Pansies, like any other long-blooming annual, benefit from fertilizer. However, excess will weaken them.
