Description

Pansies thrive in cool weather and prefer temperatures between 45°F to 65°F (7°C to 18°C). They are often grown as annuals in regions with hot summers but can be treated as perennials in cooler climates. They perform best in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Pansies can tolerate a range of soil types but prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Pansies prefer partial shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. In hot regions, they benefit from afternoon shade to protect them from intense sunlight. These versatile plants are suitable for garden beds, borders, containers, hanging baskets, and even as indoor houseplants.
