Pansies.

[Jamjar74]

ARe pansies perennial or annual.  I always thought annual.

I have "weeds" with a pansy like leaf growing, I keep digging them up but they are back again within 3/4 weeks.  Is there such a weed?

Do I leave them alone or keep weeding.

Ignorant but keen gardener.

They are a short lived (a few years) perennials. They will also seed themselves like mad and the babies will grow into normal pansies. Most pansies however are grown as annuals or biennials. Unfortunatly, pansies are usually grown through the winter where they will flower all the time the temp is over 5c. But they come into their best around may or june time....just when most people dig them up ready for thier summer bedding. HTH

I have pansies around my garden pretty much all year, every year.  What you are finding as andy says are seedlings & it's up to you whether you leave some of them. I've bought or grown from seed 'posh pansies' but some of the loveliest I've had have been the self sown ones.
