Why Do Bedding Pansies Flower Up to Dec. And Others Go on Until Spring?

Question

Why do bedding pansies flower up in Dec. and others go on until spring?

Answer 1

It just depends on the cold hardiness of the variety of pansy you plant, really. Some varieties do better with the cold than others.

Another possibility is that you have microclimates in your yard that protect some pansies more than others from the cold.
