Pansy, Violet—
Viola spp.
Family Violaceae (Violet family) Plant Identification Pansies and most violets are perennial plants, although
they are often grown as winter annuals in mild winter areas.
They are grown mostly in borders, edges, or containers and
sometimes used in rock gardens. Flowers may bloom in spring
through summer and even during the winter in mild climates.
