Pansies are well known as flowers with a “face” and it might make you smile if you look at it: it has two “eyes, a mouth and a tiny nose in the middle”.
Pansies appeared in the early 1800s when William Thompson, an English gardener, bred several species of violas and created in 1839 the “face” type pansies that we know today
Pansies are also known by the name of violas. They have a huge variety of colors (hundreds of varieties) and thrive in cool, spring time conditions. They grow well in containers, rock gardens and around the borders.
Pansies feel best in cool, rich soil in partial shade, but they can tolerate full sun if the summer is not very hot. If they are shaded in the heat of the late afternoon the flowering season of the pansies will be extended
