Why are Icicle Pansies not recommended for containers?
A. Plants have less soil in containers than in garden beds, so it is easier for them to get dehydrated or have a harder freeze and die. This is true for many small hardy shrubs and perennials as well. You can certainly enjoy Icicle Pansies in containers during the fall season, but we cannot guarantee that they will survive the winter. If you plant in containers, you may want to lay mulch around the plants and place containers in an area protected from harsh winds. This will increase your chances for overwintering.
