I think they are very hardy so they should be fine to plant out now.

Pansies are hardy so can go out now. If they have been inside and esp if you live in a cold place, put them out for a couple of days first to get then used to it before you plant them in the cold ground.

I usually wait until mid-late May to be on the safe side for geraniums, keep checking the garden centre to see that they arent at the end of their stock. Some should be fine now, pansies perhaps. If you can bear to wait a bit longer, I would.
