When will Winter Pansies flower until?

They are still going really strong, i took down my winter hanging basket today and replanted them into tubs as i thought it would be a shame to throw them away. There are evern new flowers still coming on them.





Will they flower all summer?

When will Winter Pansies flower until?
They go on for ages, they come out in the winter because they tolerate the cold weather, but also thrive if looked after in the summer.








Any reasons for the thumbs down, seems rather silly for three good replies.
Reply:Pansies do not like heat. Yes, it is a shame to have to throw them away, but you can always attempt to save some seed for next planting. I live in the deep south, plant my pansies in November. They are now getting scruffy looking. I plan on letting some flowers dry out before I pull them up, so that I can collect seeds. Pansies generally do not live thru the summer, unless you live in a very mild, northern climate with cool summers. My pansies will be totally gone by the end of May.





As long as your pansies are still blooming, great. However, mine did a profuse bloom before they started producing tiny stunted blooms. Depending on your region, they may start to wither sometime in the next few weeks. Good luck.
Reply:pansies are actually perennial so they should with any luck stay alive all summer and flower again next winter although i do find it can be a bit hit and miss as to whether they survive
Reply:Pop them into a flower bed. They will just keep right on flowering their little hearts out for you.
Reply:I *could* be wrong - but I think they will continue to bloom into the Summer! =)
