About Pansy

Pansies are cheerful, short-lived perennials often grown as annuals in the UK, prized for their vibrant, often bicoloured flowers. They are incredibly versatile, perfect for bedding, containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes, providing colour through autumn, winter, and spring. Thriving in cooler temperatures, they are a staple for adding early and late season interest to British gardens.

Outdoor garden plant. Flowering. Typically flowers around Mar, Apr, May.
