Common Questions
Are pansies edible?
Yes, they have a mild minty taste and may be eaten fresh as a garnish or candied for decorating cakes.
Why do my pansies stop blooming in the summer?
Hot weather will cause pansies to fade and die out.
Why are my pansies spindly?
Check to see if your plants are overcrowded, pansies need to be spaced 6 inches apart. Make sure they are getting enough light especially when starting seeds inside.
Should pansies be deadheaded?
Yes, to encourage a longer bloom season you will need to deadhead your flowers. This will also keep the flowers from dropping seeds.
When do pansies bloom?
Pansies bloom in the fall and in spring into early summer when the weather is cool.
Do pansies grow better in containers or in the ground?
Pansies flourish in both pots and raised beds. Because they have shallow roots, it's important not to plant them too deeply in dense soil. Always opt for well-draining soil for beds and a light potting mix for containers, ensuring that the containers also have drainage holes.
