- A gift unsought -

" I send the pansies while the year is young,

Yellow as sunshine, purple as the night;

Flowers of remembrance, ever fondly sung

By all the chiefest of the Sons of Light;

And if in recollection lives regret

For wasted days and dreams that were not true,

I tell thee that the "pansy freak'd with jet"

Is still the heart's ease that the poets knew

Take all the sweetness of a unsought gift,

And for the pansies send me back a thought."

- Sarah Downdney - Pansies

 

This title better applies to places where they are born spontaneously (Europe mainly) because in Brazil pansies can be considered a sought-after gift since you have to cultivate them if you wish to have their beauty and colors enchanting your life.

Sowing takes place in Autumn so that they bloom from early Winter until Spring.

 

Used in the decoration of gardens, forming clumps in large grassy spaces, such as borders along paths or bordering flower beds, and it also develops well in pots and planters.

As it appreciates the cold climate, in Brazil it is mainly indicated for high altitude regions in the South and Southeast of the country.
