One of the most popular flowers today! Home gardeners are growing pansies (Viola x wittrockiana) from seed for their beautiful, round-faced blossoms and striking foliage. Also known as violas, they are often the garden’s first seen flowers and bloom in a variety of colors – all summer long! Cheerful plants are perfect for pots, window boxes, rock gardens or borders.
