Is Pansies an Annual?

Are pansies annual or perennial flowers? The pansy may be treated as either an annual or a perennial, depending on your climate. However, most gardeners treat this plant as an annual because it prefers cool weather and gets too leggy in the heat of summer.

Do pansies come back every year?

The short, quick answer is, yes. Because they have little freeze tolerance, most will die in sustained winters. In areas with moderate temperatures, they may come again in spring, especially if they were mulched to protect the roots.

How do you get pansies back every year?

Making Your Pansies Bloom Again. Pinch seed pods to help your pansies bloom again. Pansy seeds will grow in long fall climates or they'll remain dormant until the next spring in many areas. Therefore, in order to fool pansies into blooming again, you will need to remove the seed pods before the seeds fully form.
