Pansies Offer Brilliant Fall Color For Your Landscape

Plant Fall Pansies This Fall

By now your summer annuals are probably not looking so great. The heat and summer drought have taken their toll. Fear not, Pansies offer an easy and very colorful option for your fall garden.

Pansies love the cool fall weather and will continue to push out blooms until the real cold temperatures arrive. In mild winters, they will live on to bloom again in the early spring. They are available in a multitude of colors and combinations.

Planting can begin in late August and continue well into the fall. Add some slow release fertilizer when you plant to give the young plants a boost.

One warning, deer like pansies too so if you have deer, be prepared to put deer netting over the pansies.

Here is just a sampling of the many colors of Pansies available:
