Carli Gazoorian- Why do pansies get sparse after June?
Question:
Answers:
Because pansies are a cool weather crop - they don't like the heat! If you have some that survive the summer, you will see that they perk up when the weather starts to cool in the Fall.
Trying to figure out why these answers would get a thumbs down.makes no sense.
Good answer from the first contributor. Want to add that if you're trying to limp pansies through the summer you must be on the lookout for aphids. I almost guarantee you will have them.
Although pansies are perennial in their natural state, they are used as an annual in north america. I strongly suggest that you change your color for the summer. Pansies are best between October and May. Use periwinkles for a similar effect from May to October.
Pansies are a cool weather plant. The June heat is too much for them. Try planting in partial shade.
