Why are my pansies turning yellow/brown towards the bottom?
Question:The color of the actual flower seems to be fine and so does the greenery towards the top... but towards the bottom closest to the soil they are slowly turning a yellowish brown color. Is there anything I can do to save them or prevent this? Thank You!
Answers:
Pansies are the most happy during the spring and fall. They typically do not do well during the summer months, although they can do okay during the summer in cool climates, and / or shady areas. I'm not sure what zone you are in, but most in most of the US, they just don't like summertime. I would suggest replacing them with a different type of annual.
When we did landscaping in PA, pansies were the first to go in, as they liked the cooler weather, (as early as March), but were replaced with "summer" annuals sometime in May or June.
If you really want to keep them, trim them back and make sure they are watered. They will look nice again when the weather turns cooler.
Good luck!
Their time has come, prepare yourself.
Pansies are annuals that usually begin to die out around this time. Just replace them with petunias for right now. Some people are fortunate enough to keep some of their annual plants alive all year, but pansies usually enjoy the early early spring, before it gets hot.
I'm sorry to hear you are losing them but that just happens. I try to buy all perennial plants because I can't stand to see them die. Isn't that silly.
