flowers.
They come in many colors, with a variety of markings and flower sizes.
Pansies are compact,
not more than 12 inches in both height and spread.

Pansies and Johnny-jump-ups are grown as cool-season annuals. They often self-sow.
ORNAMENTAL FEATURES
Pansy flowers can be single, clear colors with no markings. The most common
types of pansies have a dark center called a face. Johnny-jump-up flowers
look like small pansy flowers, often with slender black lines radiating from
the center.
Pansies have an
extremely wide color range including red, purple, blue, bronze, pink, black,
yellow, white, lavender, mahogany, apricot and orange. Some pansies have a
sweet scent.
They are most fragrant at early morning and dusk.
