Pansies are part of the violet family (Violaceae) and are recognized for their large, heart-shaped petals that come in a wide range of colors, including purple, yellow, blue, and white. They typically have a “face-like” appearance with distinct markings in the center of the flower. Pansies can grow to about 6 to 12 inches tall and are often treated as annuals, although they can act as short-lived perennials in some climates.

Pansies are edible flowers that can add color to salads, desserts, and drinks. They have a mild flavor and are high in vitamins A and C. Symbolically, pansies represent love and remembrance, with their name derived from the French word “pensée,” meaning “thought.” Historically, they have been associated with love potions and romantic gestures.

outside after it gets warm enough. Second, water them regularly. You want to keep the potting soil moist at all times. If it dries out, it’s really tough to get the potting soil to absorb water again, and your pansies are likely to dehydrate rapidly. To prevent this, water them once or twice per day, depending on the weather. You’ll need to water your pot more often if it’s placed in a very sunny or windy location. Third, fertilize regularly. The potting soil doesn’t actually have any nutrients that plants need. So, we have to provide those nutrients through fertilizer. Now, you can do this by watering once a week with fish emulsion or a little miracle grow or other water soluble fertilizer. Fertilizing will cause the plant to grow healthy green leaves and produce lots of flowers. Fourth, remove any spent flowers. Pansies can produce flowers for months as long as you remove the flowers that have faded.
