Pansy (Viola × wittrockiana)
Pansies are cool-season superstars known for their cheerful “faces,” velvety petals, and wide range of colors—from sunny yellows and clear whites to deep purples, blues, and bicolors. They bloom reliably in early spring and fall, adding instant color to beds, borders, window boxes, and containers.
Compact, easy, and forgiving, pansies thrive in cool weather and are perfect for refreshing tired planters or bridging seasons. Mix and match colors for playful combos, or plant a single hue for a bold, tidy look.
