What do you do with spent pansies etc! Compost or leave them in the garden hoping they might self-seed perhaps! When is the best time to plant pansies again please! I'm addicted to them:)

If you look at the old flowerheads, you should see some of them have seeded(round pale brownish ball, often split with loads of wee round seeds inside). Often pansies seed if you don't deadhead, so unless they're a hybrid, you should get baby plants pretty soon. I have heartsease year round, and just pull out the old lanky plants to give the new seedlings some room. They go in the compost.

There are some nice dwarf dahlias out now in the garden centres. Very pretty colours and some of the dark leaves are stunning.

My pansies are just about done too and I can see lots of little seedlings underneath. If I pull out all the older straggly ones, are a variety of colours likely to come up again! They were very pretty in the garden around my deck under the roses so would really like them to stay there :)
