These hardy, cool-season annuals thrive in cooler temperatures and are often planted in early spring or fall. Pansies are prized for their versatility in beds, borders, and containers, adding a burst of color to the landscape. With their delicate yet resilient nature, pansies are adored by gardeners for their cheerful appearance and ability to bloom during transitional seasons.
