Pansies are treated as an annual (one-time) flower that can bloom like crazy and have lots of energy that sometimes just lasts a short time. The best way to keep them blooming is to "pinch." This means to remove the flowers (and the stem) once they wilt by pinching them at their base.If they get "leggy," with extra long stems, you can pinch back these roots, too, so the plant looks more compact and neat. We've never cut down our pansies as you did, but we're not sure they will grow back.
