Pansy (B) 
Pansies delight in a cool, moist soil and a situation that protects 
them from cutting winds as well as the midday sun. To obtain 
large flowers early in spring, seed should be sown in July or August 
and the plants protected with a frame during winter. Spring sown 
seed does very well although the flowers produced are not so large.
