Hi James,
Yes, you can plant hardy varieties of pansies in the fall. Icicle pansies have been bred specifically for northern regions and other varieties that grow well in the north are Skyline, Universal, and Crystal Bowl. A new variety on the market is Snow Angel. Plant the pansies in Sept./Oct. and add some mulch. Cut worms do attack pansies sometimes. Check the plants at night and remove the worms by hand if you can or repot the pansies in new fresh soil.
