Pansies in the Garden

Pansies are a beautiful flower I like to have in my garden. The only downsize is they are annuals. You have to plant them each year. Unlike perennials, you plant them once, cut them back, and they return the next year. Not sure why they are called Pansies, they will survive the snow, they are very hardy flowers. Pansies come in a variety of colors. My neighbor visited earlier and showed me some pansies she bought to plant in her garden. I told her it was a little early to plant as we still have cold weather coming. But she has decided to take a chance and going ahead with her planting. Sharing a photo of the beautiful little pansies she purchased for her garden. What about you? Are you waiting until all the cold weather before you plant a garden? Hoping you all had a great day.

I do not have these flowers in the yard, I did not consciously plant it because it looks so gentle, I think it would kill him even rain.

I leave the pansies in the garden all year round, as soon as they feel that the temperature is going up they bloom. The one in your photo is beautiful.

Thank you, I also enjoy home in the garden but not year round. They do not survive here all winter.

@CarolDM Yes, those are my favorite coloured ones too. My Dad's birthday was on May 2nd, and I usually try to plant some pansies on his birthday. He was a farmer, so I plant flowers on his birthday as a tribute, I try to get a little dirt under my nails for my beloved Farmer Daddy.

@Juliaacv My Dad's birthday is My 5th. That is a great thing to do. I have a garden in the back, I have written about. It is a tribute to Dustin with the rose bush and butterfly bush. I added an azalea this year for my Dad.

@CarolDM I laughed at the neighbor a few years ago. She planted a lot of her vegetable garden by the middle of May. I had bought a lot of plants by then but still had them all setting on a flat bed trailer. The weather called for a hard frost. One tarp and my plants were protected. Then we sat laughing while her and her husband were covering each row.

They are really lovely flowers. No garden to plant in but I want to plant some flowers in a pot to put on my porch. I sill have not decided what flowers but I also know I will plant some catnip.

Thanks, I agree with you.; So easy to plant. Pansies would be colorful in a pot. Chives are nice, they bloom.

In CT, pansies are doomed to die at this time of year. Our son FaceTimed with us a bit earlier and showed us something popping up from his wood chips and asked us what it was. We had no idea. lol. This will be his first spring in his new house, so I'm sure he will have lots of questions for us about flowers.

@CarolDM Great idea, but it was just a brown stump poking through the ground. I'll look again in a week or two. lol

I heard you can eat the flowers, I have not tried them, yet. I love flowers but I am now more into food plants and I let the perennials I have bring me joy this year, oh wait! I have marigolds and sunflowers to plant.

I would think it's the wimpy people called pansies that were named after the flower instead of the other way around. Probably whoever started that thought the flowers looked delicate.

Ha! I always think of pansies as certain people I know, not these hardy flowers that can live through the snow.
