I love violas and pansies for many reasons: their little faces are so cheerful, they come in so many varieties, bloom from the February til the frost in the NW (as long as they are pinched back, so they won’t go to seed), they do well as a cut flower and if treated in a hydration chamber, they will perform well out of water also.

Violas and pansies are a great choice for containers or in flower beds; a sunny or partial shade exposure is preferred and they like humus rich soil.

Thank you Theresa, Gwen and Ted for the beautiful images!

And as always Azelle, you rocked modeling these designs!
