Pansy FlowerThis is the main pansy flower page where you'll find links to all the pictures of beautiful pansies. Each pansy flower is on her own on a stem on the mother plant. You can get longer stems that are about 3 inches or 7 to 8 centimeters, but you also get shorter stems. They are not your typical cut flower and they are not sold as cut flowers. However, if you have these pretty faces in your garden, you can also put them in a small vase and enjoy their color and fragrance for many days.
This is a picture of a red, burgundy pansy. I took the picture while the flowers were still on the plant. You see a bud to the right and another flower of the same plant in the background. I have a tall, narrow vase with three purple pansy blooms on my desk as I write this. Each flower is looking in a different direction. The vase is about 10 inches or 25 centimeters tall. The tall vase was just the first available vase when I needed something to put the three flowers in. It's not the shape I would have gone for if a spent time choosing a vase, but it looks great and works really well for the flowers. Pansies are in the Viola family of plants. They are in the same family as violets. The family consists of 400-500 species. You can plant pansies in a garden bed, but also in containers. The last batch that I planted was in a container in which I have also planted ranunculus bulbs. This means that I have a pot with pretty pansies while I wait for the ranuncules to appear and make a show. Colors More Pansies Growing Flower Size Pansies start flowering when they are very small. You find them at the garden center in seedling trays with lovely big flowers on plants that are still fairly small. Family: Violaceae
