pansy

I planted a few pansies and tidied up the bathrooms; when it began raining, I dealt with some leaks.

Add cold-season plantings like primroses, pansies, heather and cyclamen to pots and window boxes.

In outdoor pots, red dogwood stems and evergreen boughs bring structure, while violas, pansies and ornamental kale add unflinching color, shrugging off light frosts.

For gardeners itching to get started, pansies are readily available in winter and are easy to press, and hold their colors beautifully.

The shrub, tree and perennial sections of the nursery offer plenty of alternatives to the usual winter pansies and those bulky, rigid cabbages.
