Who can
resist the smiling charm of the pansys blossom? Often referred to as
flowers with faces, these little charmers are not at all as fragile as they
look. Favoring cool weather, these little charmers are available in a growing
variety of colors and markings, from nearly black to a new array of solid
colors, ruffles, doubles and blotches. They bloom best in spring and fall when
daytime temperatures are 60 degrees F and night temperatures are around 40
degrees F.
Pansies are a welcome addition to the landscape, pairing nicely with spring
flowering bulbs. They provide two levels
of color -- one at the ground, and one above with the daffodil and tulip
blossoms. Pansies are also
effective planted in mass or in drifts with other flowers in beds and borders.
Deadheading the old flowers once in a while will help the plant conserve energy
by preventing seed production. An
application of 5-10-5 fertilizer every three or four weeks will promote bigger,
brighter flowers on sturdy plants. Flowering fades during the hot, summer
weather, but can perk up again if you have the patience to wait out the return
of cooler temperatures. Pansies are more often treated as an early annual,
being displaced by summers heat loving annuals.
The smaller
growing violas are also known as Johnny-Jump-Ups and require the same care as
pansies. Violas are more likely to return in following years from seed.
One of this years
offerings is a red white and blue mix called 'Let Freedom Ring.'
