>My sister who lives in Atlanta is putting in pansies now and replacing some >other annuals. She told me that ground never freezes and they flower right up >till May. You could not even find pansies this time of year in Boston, MA. >Chris Z5 I just planted a flat of pansies in Oct. There was a big add in the paper from a very good greenhouse in town that the hardy pansies were in and on sale. So I got a flat and they are supposed to bloom and survive all year. I do have pansies that I have seen blooming here in January so I am hopeful. If you are really interested in the pansies, check around. You might be surprised at what you find. Jane zone 5 Colorado
