Pansy Plant

The pansy plant is a perennial flowering plant that is hardy in zones 3-9. Pansies are commonly grown in flower gardens and are also used in cutting gardens and borders. Pansies have a compact habit, growing to about 18 inches tall and 12 inches wide. They produce daisy-like flowers that are one to two inches in diameter. Pansies are hardy, meaning they can withstand cold winters and do not need to be planted in the springtime. They can also grow in poor soil conditions. The flowers are a range of colors from pink, red, white, purple, yellow, and cream.
