These tough cool-season annuals can take freezing temperatures. Plant in September through March in full to part sun. They will grow 6-8 inches tall. Sold in 4-inch and 6-pack containers, these flowers can add color and volume to any garden or pot. Pansies are a staple in any garden.

Violas’ blooms are smaller than pansies, but there are also more per plant. They also tend to fill in more quickly than violas. Plant them in September-March. Add these little guys to your garden for a burst of color or use in a pot and let them cascade down the side. Place in full to part sun.
