I was reading an article the other day about plants that flourish in the South during the winter. After 25 years in the Northeast I was accustomed to Winter being a time of grayness and bland landscapes. But, I have learned certain varieties of flowers actually love the Southern winters.
For example, the pansy. When I first planted pansies, I wasn't impressed with its delicate features. Without a green thumb, I thought I needed something a little hardier. Well, I soon was impressed with this tough little flower with its wide range of colors and flashy face markings, the pansies I planted continued to bloom all season long.
Seems that pansies love the South, and this time of year best, with the cooler nights and warm days as optimal conditions they thrive on.
So, pansies it will be in the oddball planters I brought down with me from the North and plan on placing at odd places alongside the driveway. .
