It might seem counterintuitive, but if you pinch off those huge blooms on the waterlogged plants, it might help them settle into their new "digs" better, put their energy into roots and foliage for a bit, and spring back to flower strongly later. ;)<br /><br />Now is when our pansies pick up a little bit for a last few months' show (March, April, and if we are lucky a bit of May) before they bite the dust in our heat and heavy humidity.
