Plant of the week: Winter Pansies
Winter Flowering PansiesWinter flowering Pansies have the ability to flower in the cold depths of winter when other life is hibernating, they are extremely tolerant of the cold and wet, and withstand chilly winds very well. The flower will dominate even on the dreariest of winter days and are best grown in most soils but they do like plenty of sunshine. No other flower has such a wide colour spectrum ranging from pure white to almost jet black.
However, bright colours are needed to liven up the dullest of days so try to avoid deep dark colours for en-mass planting. Pansies look great planted with Wall Flowers and Dwarf Tulips. Watch out for slugs!
