Flowers from our garden

Pansies (viola tricolor)

One of the typical flowers from our garden is the pansy, its Latin name being Viola witrokiana. This plant has green leaves and it can be of different colour, like: white, blue, purple and yellow. It grows especially in sunny landscapes, in sandy soil. Well, if you want to grow a pansy, you should:

- put it somewhere with much sunlight

- water it every day, when it’s hot even 2 or 3 times

- change it’s soil once a year

- take out the weeds from all around the plant
