What could be prettier than a pansy? They look so delicate but they’re really very tough. Pansies and violas (they look alike but violas have a smaller flower) can take cold weather. A frosty night here or there might make them lay over a bit but then they pop right back.
You might think of pansies as old-fashioned flowers that die when the weather gets warm. That’s a thing of the past. Pansies are not just pansies! They have so many great qualities:
New types of pansies & violas can take summer heat much better than older varieties. All they need is a little bit of afternoon shade and they will bloom for you all summer.
A favorite thing about pansies & violas is they are edible!! They have a very mild taste but look so beautiful in a salad. Think about using them as a garnish on a plate. Can you imagine how lovely they would look on a cake or cupcakes? Remember Mother’s Day is coming.
If you plan to use pansies or violas with food it’s best to cut off the open flowers on the plants when you purchase them and discard these. Use the new flowers that open up on food. This is just a cautionary measure in case the flowers right from the garden center might have something on them.
Pansies & violas can also be used in art projects. They press very nicely and can be used to make pictures and cards.
