Pansies are Here!

Once the weather breaks and the earth begins to thaw every single persons’ mood changes. I could tell immediately when I worked the front counter this past weekend. Usually when I work the register I will get a few customers who are a little… grumpy. This weekend it was nothing but smiling faces and cheerful comments. It is amazing what the Spring does to a humans mentality! The sun shines, the world comes to life, and the pansies arrive in the greenhouse!

For many gardeners planting pansies is the first sign that winter is over and Spring is almost in full swing. These hardy pansies are easy to grow and don’t mind a few hours of shade. And don’t be afraid of a mid-March frost, most pansies will withstand temperature as low as the teens. 

It is very therapeutic after a long winter to get your hands dirty and plant something. We think the best idea is instant color and beauty with hardy pansies! It is time to get started!
