About this time of year, everyone is looking forward to blooming plants. That’s especially true if your appetite was whetted by the beautiful spring garden displays at the recent Boston Flower & Garden Show.
Of course, pansies are one of the first commercially available spring flowers. But many people are unsure when they can leave pansies outside day and night. Pansies are not “wimps.” They actually have built-in natural “antifreeze.” and can withstand a very light frost. However, they will stop growing and producing blooms at that temperature. A good rule of thumb is to wait until night-time temperatures do not dip below the very high 30s or low 40s. This is usually in mid April but varies each year.
