Ice Pansy Flower, Is Bigger Better?
The Ice Pansy in Spring is frost hardy flowering plant coming in a multitude of bright solid and mixed assortment of colors.
Yes, for color impact & splash the bigger pansies make noticeable difference, see area calculations at the bottom to understand why!
Spring Flowers: Local garden centers, building stores, Costco display and big box grocery stores offer for sale Ice Pansies because they are frost hardy. Jump start your Spring with color!!!
Fall Flowers: Late Fall Tip: Frost is a killer of most Fall plants and their flowers, so planting greenhouse grown Ice Pansies in the off season, ie found at Lowes, Home Depot and Better Garden Centers, … a a fast way to return color in your prime garden areas.
PS Personally prefer the bigger 2″ plus diameter pansies for BIG color garden impact – takes some searching, not every store has the monster flowers!!!
Question: How much bigger is a 1″ pansy versus a 2″ pansy? Much larger, actually four times larger – see calculation below!
Well a 1″ (2.54 cm) )diameter pansy measures approx. 3/4 (5.06 square cm) of a square inch
A 2″ (5.08cm) )diameter pansy measures approx. 3.14 (20.2 square cm) of a square inch
Mum Flower Garden Display
Fall mums are a great choice! It makes one’s garden color come back when other trees, shrubs and plants are shutting down for the coming of winter months.
Some prefer the yellow mums in gardens as they seem to hold their flowers longer but mixing in another color adds a needed variety and contrast as seen below.
