Despite their delicate name and appearance, pansies are tough, vibrant and come in all colors of the rainbow. Not only are they one of the first signs of spring in garden centers, but their ability to bloom in cold weather makes them a staple for planting in fall too!

Pansies are one of the most popular edible flowers, both because you can eat their sepals, but also because they come in such a variety of colors. Pansies are a versatile, cool-season flowers that grow in full to partial sun when temperatures stay between 40 degrees F and 60 degrees F during the day. This makes them ideal for spring and fall gardens. Although they’re technically biennials, they’re typically grown as annuals. Pansies have a mild evergreen flavor that lends itself well to salads, drinks, and desserts. Unlike most edible flowers, you can eat the entire pansy flower – sepals and all. I like to use pansies to decorate cakes and cookies (their flat shape makes them ideally suited for decorating), but they’re also a perfect addition to herb-flavored cocktails and fruit and green salads. For a quick snack you can also spread cream cheese on a cracker and top it with a whole pansy.
