A fine pot plant for house or semi-shade out- 

 doors 

 A great favorite in England and can be

 Although a perennial this plant gives best

 Feed freely when buds appear. Succeed as 



annuals

 Pansies don't like heat, keep them away from 



hot sun 

 Best treated as a tender annual or biennial 

 A grand flower but needs plenty of protection 



in fall 

 Very odd. Likes moisture; must lift roots
