Spring Temperature Swings

When temperatures swing from +13 to -10 in one day, we know it's spring-time in Ontario. Pansies & Primula are up for it though, and actually perform best in cool weather. Most daytime temperatures this time of year are perfect for the bright faces of a Pansy container to greet everyone coming to your door. If the temperature is going to get much below freezing, you may want to set it indoors for overnight. Forgetting to do that won't cause the end of it, but will set it back a week or two until it blooms again. What better way is there to Welcome Spring ?

  1. unless you're afraid of pansies, then you'd better find something else to greet you like hyacinths :)
