Winter pansies

Just bought three packs yesterday from local garden centre. They are F1 pansies in beautiful colours , one is a deep Matt black with a yellow centre.
I bought some a year ago from this chap, and they have flowered for a whole ten months.
Lovely Little plants for for cheering a tired garden up this time of year.

Pansies are lovely, brighten a dull day. Shall be getting mine very soon.

Thanks for the heads up Witzend. I have a narrow, raised border in my front garden that I used to grow them in. My neighbours have built a brick wall alongside, about 6” higher so now the border only gets sun in the late afternoon and evening. Is it worth putting pansies in this autumn, do you think?

Thats good to know, as I am always intending to do winter pots and baskets but never get round to it. So thank you! Do they flower throughout all of winter (you can see I am new to this!)?

Witzend Thanks for the heads up my eldest son is a night store manager at Sainsbury's he would never think to tell me about this !!

Goodness - better get organised! Thank you.
I like to have pansies in pots so I can move them around. They are so cheerful.
