Bring on the Blooms: Planting Pansies and More for a Colorful Spring

Spring is in the air here in the Lakes Region, and there’s no better way to celebrate the season than by brightening up your yard with fresh, colorful flowers. Whether you're sprucing up your front entryway or adding charm to garden beds, planting spring flowers like pansies is an easy and rewarding way to give your property instant curb appeal.

Why Choose Pansies?

Pansies are a springtime favorite—and for good reason. These hardy, cheerful blooms come in a rainbow of colors, from bold purples and blues to sunny yellows and crisp whites. They thrive in the cooler temperatures of early spring and can even tolerate light frosts, making them perfect for New Hampshire’s unpredictable weather.

Plus, pansies aren’t just pretty faces—they’re also low maintenance and versatile. You can plant them in garden beds, hanging baskets, window boxes, or decorative containers on your porch or patio.

When to Plant

Here in the Lakes Region, mid-to-late April is typically a safe time to start planting pansies outdoors. As soon as the ground is workable and temperatures stay above freezing at night, you're good to go. Pansies actually prefer cooler temperatures and will bloom well into early summer if cared for properly.

Planting Tips

• Pick a sunny spot: Pansies love sun but will appreciate a little afternoon shade as the days warm up.

• Prep the soil: Loosen the soil and mix in compost or a slow-release fertilizer to give your flowers a strong start.

• Water regularly: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Pansies don’t like to dry out!

  
  

Mix & Match with Other Spring Favorites

Pansies pair beautifully with other early bloomers like violas, snapdragons, and alyssum. For extra height and drama, mix in tulips or daffodils. And if you're planning a longer-term display, consider planting perennials around them that will take over when the pansies start to fade in the heat of summer.
