Care of Pansy Flowers
When you decide to plant pansies you need to be care about some questions regarding the car of pansy flowers.
Deer love pansies, so don't plant them where the pests can reach them. Slugs, snails, and pill bugs also eat pansies.
To control them, apply slug and snail bait every two weeks. Your pansies will bloom all winter long, and often last
until the end of March. Two inches of mulch helps conserve water and improves pansy performance. It is most efficient
to water with drip irrigation laid underneath two inches of a fine, organic living mulch. Control slugs and snails
with a slug and insect bait.

Pansy

Protect your pansies during cold weather by temporarily allowing them to wilt! The dry leaves are not damaged by cold;
they recover nicely when warmer temperatures appear. But if the soil is frozen while dry, with frigid winds howling
across the leaves, the roots of the pansy plants will be unable to transport water back to the leaves. For this reason,
keep beds thoroughly mulched with at least two inches of a living organic mulch during the winter.

If pansies fail to thrive it is often because neither nature nor the gardener provided enough water. Mulching around
the pansies when gardening and planting them with organic material will help conserve moisture, and reduce weed growth.
Water the soil (not the plant leaves) deeply. Pansies need at least six hours of sun; plants growing in shade will
produce fewer blossoms.

Gardening pansies

Many hybrid pansies have a high tolerance for cold, can be frozen quite solid and the plants will not die. You may
notice a purple cast to the pansy leaves. This is a sign of stress and can be a result of cold temperatures.

Care of pansy flowers
|
Frequent pinching of spent blooms is encouraged as it produces a profusion of new buds and blooms. Mulching with straw
is sometimes recommended, depending on weather and wetness conditions. As far as problems are concerned, their biggest
nemesis is slugs, who seem to love pansies. Use either slug bait or a saucer of beer (slugs crawl in and drown) to help
eliminate the problem. essortment
Gardeners may be concerned about care of pansy flowers, specially on winter, but many selections tolerate temperatures
as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit before their tops are killed
(such as icicle pansies).
