February 2024: Pansy Viola

Pansies are considered a cool season annual. They should be planted in the fall and protected from hard freezes. The smaller flowering violas are very prolific and will recover from freezing temperatures quicker than its larger flowering cousin, the pansy. Plant them in the ground or in containers. Fertilize your pansies every two to three weeks with bloodmeal. The bloodmeal will help deter rabbits.
