Anyone know the blooming time of the flower Pansy?

I would think it depends on what part of the country you live in.

Here in southern Arizona everything is blooming. First year I haven't planted pansies.

I live in the NC mountains. My pansies have been blooming all winter, even through the snow. They are self seeding and do die back in the summer.

It depends on where you live.

We'll have pansies blooming in OH until the snow flies. They may get covered with snow, and when it all melts away, their pretty little faces will still have the blooms in tact. We LOVE this! In the spring they're pick up where they left off.

These little beauties are amazing!

In Southern California pretty much all year, though in the heat of the summer they get pretty leggy and ugly..I think of them as a Fall, Winter Spring plant and usually do marigolds and petunias in summer.. But that said, I DO have petunias that have been blooming all winter, too!

OP, If yours aren't blooming, it may be lack of sun. They like full winter sun but when it gets pretty warm (May where I live) they drop dead.

Pansies bloom in cooler weather and some tags say 'winter hardy'. Once the weather really heats up they either die or get leggy. I usually pull mine out in May.

It does depend on where you live. I'm in the Northeast. Here you can get the hardiest types of pansies in about mid-March. They won't die if there's an unexpected frost, but they would not survive the winter. Other pansies can be put out a few weeks later, maybe in April. They are a cool weather flower that stops blooming and looks very bad at the height of summer. Don't throw them out. Instead cut them back to a few inches, keep watering them, and set them aside during the summer. When the cooler air comes back as summer winds down, your pansies will be in full bloom again.

I put my pansies in about November, and they bloom all winter for me...they are still blooming now, and unfortunately, I will have to take them out soon because of the warmer weather here in South Carolina.

Here in NJ, my pansies from last fall have many large buds on them. As this week will be well above normal, I'm certain to have some blooms.

Here on the Gulf coast we plant pansies for winter flowers. Mine are blooming their hearts out right now and have been for months. In late April or early May I have to pull them up to put in Summer annuals. The pansies can't take our summer heat.
