| I am in zone 7A and am looking for companion plants for my annual beds and containers to plant with pansies. Are there any other plants that will last through the winter? |

It is useful to see what other gardeners in your area plant for overwintering but here are a few that I might plant alongside pansies and would probably be ok in a Z7 climate.
I'm assuming late winter and spring flowering.
Myosotis (forget-me-not)
Helleborus (hellebore)
Scilla - bulbs
Polyanthus
Tulips - bulbs
Muscari - bulbs (grape hyacinth)
Crocus - bulbs
Narcissus - bulbs
Galanthus - bulbs (snowdrop)
Fritillaria - bulbs (fritillary)
Eranthis - tubers (winter aconite) Peter My Website |

Iceland poppies
Snapdragons
Dianthus Go to a good nursery and see what they have/suggest. Herbs like parsley and rosemary make good companions. Nell |
