Looking for a low-maintenance, colourful plant to brighten up your garden? Meet the Pansy – our Plant of the Week!
Why Choose Pansies?
Pansies are a gardener’s favourite thanks to their vibrant colours, cold tolerance, and long flowering season. Whether you’re planting up borders, window boxes, or hanging baskets, these cheerful little blooms are a must-have!
Key Benefits:
Cold-Hardy: Pansies thrive in cooler temperatures, making them one of the best flowers for early spring and autumn planting. They can even survive light frosts!
Endless Colour Options: From deep purples to sunny yellows and striking blues, pansies offer a wide range of colours to brighten any outdoor space.
Great for Pollinators: These blooms attract bees and butterflies, supporting local wildlife.
Compact & Versatile: Ideal for flower beds, pots, and borders!
How to Care for Pansies
Sunlight: Pansies love full sun to partial shade. Too much heat, however, can make them wilt.
Watering: Keep the soil moist but well-drained – they don’t like to sit in water!
Deadheading: Remove wilted flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
Feeding: A light application of fertiliser every few weeks will keep them healthy and blooming.
Did you know that the name "pansy" comes from the French word pensée, meaning “thought”? These flowers have long been associated with remembrance and love.
