Pansies are here!!

The names 'pansy' and 'viola' are interchangeable. There are many cultivars within the genus Viola, and most of them are hybrids of the same handful of species, so there are so many similarities that only a botanist really cares which is which. Pansies as cool weather flowers with almost heart-shaped, overlapping petals in bright colors or bicolor, often with face-like center markings.

 

Pansies are one of the most popular and recognizable cool weather annuals. Breeding has produced pansies that are better able to stand up to the cold, but thereBakers Village hasn't been much luck producing more heat tolerant varieties. Many pansies are bicolored, making them striking plants for their small size. Although delicate, they are surprisingly hardy, and like their cousins the violas and violets, the flowers are edible.

As compact, low growers pansies are ideal for edging and for squeezing between rock walls and paths.  But they must be removed in summer. They're a great choice for early and late season containers and complement spring flowering bulbs, since they will begin to flower as the bulb foliage begins to fade. If you like the variety of colors but still want a sense of cohesion, select plants of the same series. They'll be similar in size and markings, regardless of the color.


Growing Violas

Viola is the name of a genus containing about 500 different species. Most garden cultivated violas are grown as annuals, or short-lived perennials. However, many will self-seed and delight you for years to come.

How to Grow Violas

Violas are primarily cool season bloomers. They are perfect for starting andBakers Village ending the season in colder climates, and for bridging the seasons in warmer zones where they can remain in bloom throughout the winter, so plant your violas based on your specific climate.

All-Seasons Mixture Viola (New Variety)

A multi-season wonder - spring or fall!  'Penny' is hardy and heat tolerant for a continuous blast of color, known for continuous flowering from the beginning to the end of season.  4 - 6"H x 4 - 6
