What is not to like about these plants? Pansy is one of the first heralds of spring in gardens, but its ability to thrive in cold climates makes it a staple for fall planting and garden beds.
Garden pansy (Viola × wittrockiana) is a large-flowered hybrid plant grown as a garden flower. It’s the result of crossing several species of the melanium (“pansies“) section of the genus Viola, specifically Viola tricolor, a wildflower native to Europe and Western Asia.
