A pansy is a popular, cold-tolerant flowering plant in the Viola genus, known for its showy "face-like" blooms in various colors and its ability to thrive in cool weather. While grown as an annual, it is botanically a cool-season perennial, performing best in mild weather, and its fragrant blooms are edible and attract pollinators. For successful growth, plant pansies in moist, well-draining soil with full or partial sun, ensuring they avoid the intense heat of late afternoon. Live Plant
