Pansy Seeds grow into annual or perennial, low-growing plants with rounded, heart-shaped leaves and large, flat-faced flowers in shades of purple, blue, yellow, white, or bi-color combinations. They thrive in temperate climates with full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil. Pansies are ideal for garden beds, borders, rock gardens, and container planting, providing long-lasting blooms from early spring through fall.
