Fall Has Arrived!

It's pansy season people! I just love pansies and violas. Pansies are one of the few plants I have encountered that come in any and every color imaginable. Not only do pansy flowers come in every color of the rainbow but they are also available in any mix of colors at your local nursery. You want an orange and purple flower? Red and yellow, perhaps? No Problem!
Not only do pansies come in a beautiful array of colors but they are also one durable little plant here on the southeast coast. When properly cared for your pansies will last from October up until May of the following year. That is 7-8 months of continuous color from one little plant! That is a great investment for anyone's garden. The only weather pansies can't tolerate is our hot, hot summer months. (And really, who can blame them!) During the winter, however, pansies can stand up to the worst mother nature has to offer. Neither icy rain nor snow will harm them. So the next time someone calls you a pansy take it as a complement!
