Our pansies came through winter well and are making lovely displays throughout the Garden. In the Kemper Center's Pansy Trial Beds you can see dramatic results in which varieties survived the cold winter well and which did not. Many spring-flowering annuals, such as toadflax are flowering nicely in beds and containers.
