Detailed explanation-1: -Pansy. Pansies have a tolerance to low-temperatures and actually thrive in cool weather (40°-60°F) (Kwon 1992). They are capable of surviving temperatures down to the single digits, but when the air temperature drops below 25°F, pansy foliage will wilt and turn a gray-green color.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heart-shaped or rounded leaves sprout from the base, and oblong or oval leaves grow from the stems. The plant’s velvety flowers, which usually occur in combinations of blue, yellow, and white, are about 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches) across and have five petals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Growing pansies are most common in late fall and early spring in the northern areas of the India, while pansies in subtropical areas bloom all winter. Pansy plant belongs to the Viola family, which comes from a small and dangerous species known as Johnny-Jump Up.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pansies prefer sites that provide full, direct morning sun, yet shield them from intense afternoon rays. Well-drained, fertile soil that’s high in organic matter helps fuel abundant pansy blooms.
