Great Gardening Weather
So, it finally happened, a cool front that looks like it may stay for awhile. I can tell you it is time to plant the pansies. I am a firm believer that you plant pansies in the New Orleans area when it cold enough to turn on the heat in your home.
What pansies should I buy and is there anything special I should do?
I am a big fan of the Majestic Giant series which are large flower plants with bright colors with a blotch of color in the center. These plants do very well and for great results, you should remove the old flowers every week for the best flowering results. Also, you should plant the pansies and apply blood meal at 1 lbs. per 1000 sq. feet to make the flowers spectacular.
