Pansies' smaller cousins bloom earlier in the season and keep going longer—these pink-faced violas start flowering in late fall and won't quit until heat shuts them down. Each flower is cheerful and durable, holding up to our cold snaps and wet weather both.

Plant them in sun to part shade in any soil that doesn't stay soggy. They'll fill edges, containers, and the front of beds where you want immediate color before spring things wake up.
