Pansy Flowers One of My Favorites

Pansies are a hardy flower that enjoys the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. I have planted them in spring and they usually die out in summer, but this year one pansy bloomed again in fall.



This year I planted my pansies in the rear of my home where they get some of shade. This is the only area where they have bloomed a second time in the same year. I have planted them in the front of my home where they get full sun. The blooms are beautiful and bright, but they have never bloom a second time in the same year there.

The color theme of my flower gardens is mainly purple. I do have some other colors, but basically the purple hues. The pansies I have planted have a rich purple color and are a low growing plant. I use them around as a border planted in between the spring tulips. As the tulips begin to die out the pansies are in full bloom before the summer flora arrives.
