I would recommend Pansies in general, but the Black Moon Pansy could be a bit more hardy. I planted a whole package of seeds and only one plant came up, it did get black spot, but over all was nice, but not a vigorous as some of the more common Pansies.
Pansies like cool weather and a lot of water. In hot climates grow them in winter.
