The small pansies are among the easy-care flowers that accompany us with their colorful flowers from March to October. Depending on the variety, they thrive in partial shade or full sun.
Which location do pansies prefer?
Pansies prefer a partially shaded location with nutrient-rich soil, but can also thrive in full sun. Horned violets, on the other hand, prefer a sunny location and stony soil.
The flowering pansy plants can be purchased in many different colors in spring and autumn. They are the first messengers of spring in the balcony boxes and patio pots. They are also particularly suitable as edge plants in the garden.
Partial shade for garden pansies
The pansies prefer a partially shaded location and nutrient-rich soil, but also thrive in the sun. However, full sun should be avoided when growing young plants.
Full sun for horned violets
The horned violet is a perennial native to the Pyrenees and a sun worshiper. The plants prefer stony soil. They look good in rock gardens and perennial beds, but also in balcony boxes for many months.
