Pansy Violet, or simply Pansy, is a cultivated garden flower. Despite its name, there are also Pansies which are non-violet. Those are the species that have been bred. Their colors range from gold, orange, purple, violet, and a blue so deep as to be almost black. Pansies are quite a hardy plant and they grow well in sunny or partially sunny places. They are technically biennials, producing greenery on its first year, then flowers and seeds on its second, before they eventually die.
These plants can tolerate light freezes or a little snow, however, not for very long time. They bloom during the winter and are being planted in low areas with warmer climates. In these areas, they are known to reseed, assuring that they will again bloom the following year. These flowers are not known to be very heat-tolerant. If the temperature gets over a certain level, these plants become leggy and the blooming stops. Now I know why my Mom always ask me to water them thoroughly once a week. Today, our garden has a lot of Pansy Violet species. There are orange, gold, and blue that make our garden even more colorful. Its just so relaxing to look at them while eating my favorite dessert like
Sweet Baked Alaska.
