what is there to do for this flower?





thanks in advance





in case you needed to know it's in a small plastic pot.

Whats the lifespan of a pansy?
Check inside the leaves to see if there are more flowers comming up, make sure to deadhead them too. Yes you can plant it, and you may get more flowers in the fall off them when done with spring/early summer blooms. Here is more info:

Reply:Pansies have a long life expectancy..They are usually to chicken **** to try anything exciting or dangerous.
Reply:It is an annual. You could take it outside and it will bloom again.
Reply:Pansies grow outside in the fall, winter and spring most places, and despite their name are the hardiest blooming annual. They will readily bloom outside while it is below freezing, and don't mind a dusting of snow. They typically don't like hot weather though, and I have never had any luck and getting any to live through the summer.
Reply:Pansy are a outdoor plant.If you plant them this year they usually come back the next year only smaller.They usually shrink down to a wild violet size.But I've had them last as many as 6 years as long as winters aren't too bad.
Reply:Pansies are considered annuals or short-lived perennials. Though some will self seed. Many flower from April to November (basically any time the temperature is above freezing). They thrive in cool weather. They like rich, well drained soil, with sun or light shade. Spider mites,slugs, and aphids can be a problem. Susceptible to rot if soil is too moist. Also high nitrogen fertilizers can lead to rot.





Otherwise, they are pretty easy to grow. Some types (especially the Johnny Jump Up, which has much smaller flowers) seem to "pop up" anywhere in the garden, away from where it's original planted spot is.
Reply:Pansies love cool weather. They will bloom from Fall through Spring. As the weather warms they will become leggy and develop seeds which will start new plants in your yard next Fall.


You can put your plant on the porch or in the ground. They also enjoy shade more than sun, again because they like cooler temperatures.


You can also give it some fertilizer if you like to promote blooms. Also, you can brush the snow from the plant they don't mind. When it is really cold the plant sends the water in it's leaves to it's roots and will revive when the temperatures get back up. That's it's survival trick!
