    Yes. I'm in Luella Texas and I grow both pansies and violas in the winter.

    They are honestly just the best, and I think they survive anywhere. I'm in very sunny, hot South Africa and my pansies are thriving in full sun

    I'm in northern Ohio I planted a Viola in my garden and it lived all through the winter no problem. As soon as the snow melted it flowered. I found your video informative thank you.

    I live in zone 4. I purchased these violas last year without realizing that they would survive the winter and spread all over. they are absolutely gorgeous little flowers. I have lilac, a darker purple, orange and yellow. I planted them in my new garden out front where they get full sun. once our winter snow melted, I was astonished to see the little guys were still thriving. I just went out and bought a whole flat of these violas and planted them in my back gardens. I just love them. People are asking me what kind they are, some are taking pictures. They are the bell of the ball. so so pretty, however I have not furtilized them, but they seem to be doing quite well. Amazing, imagine surviving buried under that cold snow, still can't believe it.

      I'm in zone 7a and if they get just a little bit of water they survive thru the worst of heat and winter in a morning only sun spot in a shallow planter. Just incredible of how strong they are. Thank you for sharing.

    I am in zone 6 too. I plant pansies in the fall. They grow wonderfully and bravely bloom through light frost and snow. They always come back to full loveliness in the spring. Two seasons from one plant is a great value.

    My favorite flower! I also surface sow and start them in a dark corner indoors. They usually sprout in about 7 days. Love the images.

    Ex-Ohioan (central) moved to Texas 2 years ago. I grew pansies all winter this past year. The only thing that stopped them was our Snowmageddon/Ice Storm with record zero temps. Even so, one pot managed to survive and are still blooming today. We've had a cool spring, but I expect that will come to an end very soon and the remaining pansies will succumb to the heat.

    Hello! I started pansy seedlings indoors under grow lights in late summer last year, planted out in Sept and they overwintered well! Zone 6b southeastern Massachusetts 🙂

    I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I sowed Giant Swiss Pansies seeds in pots early last fall. Kept them watered & had lots of large containers full of beautiful pansies all winter long.

    Interestingly enough, viola also tolerate heat better as well. I had a viola self-seed last spring and it made it through the Arkansas heat. With frequent watering of course.

    I'm in southern mississippi. Pansies and violas do well here if planted in the late fall when the weather cool down, then they start blooming all fall, winter and early spring. As soon as the weather warms up, they stop blooming. They will not continue blooming during hot weather.

    I live in southern Mississippi. We grow pansies and violas in the fall and they bloom all winter and spring. Then as soon as late march and April they stop blooming. We over winter petunias by bringing them inside if it freezes. Petunias will do well in a protected spot (areas close to the house)

    Kia ora from New Zealand Christa. How funny - I had just come inside from direct sowing some more pansies and violas. We are lucky here in NZ as they grow happily through our temperate winter and on into summer. Yours look amazing!

    Turns out they're just super strong and can handle bare cold. But they bloom best after winter is over... Also I live in Tanzania, it's a tropical zone, all youtube videos speak about seasons and we ain't never seen snow in our lives haha... It's wildly different here

    Ohh, I saw some black violas that I had to have!! They will look great with orange pansies or violas, but not quite ready for Halloween colors yet. 😋

    I live in Mississippi zone 8b. I grow pansies from box stores in September and October . They flower all through fall, winter and spring before they fizzle out in April due to the heat. We don't grow pansies during the summer or early fall.

      I'm in SC too and my violas are so pretty that I hate the thought of them dying back in the 100° heat. I'm going to put all the hanging baskets in a very shady area and water frequently. They are already wilting a little if I don't water daily but I'm going to try! Wish me luck! 🙏

      I live in the same zone. What happened? Maybe too much sun if you're planting tomatoes in the same spot.
      I circled my containers with young planted Jantar (think lime green tips) Arbors and added blue and yellow. They never had direct sun but lots of warmth and bright light. Deadheaded through the ENTIRE summer and they got leggy but dog walkers always said they combo looked so nice!
