Planting Instructions:
- Soil Preparation: Pansies prefer well-draining, fertile soil. Work in compost or organic matter to enrich the soil before planting.
- Sowing Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in seed-starting mix, covering them lightly with soil as they require darkness to germinate.
- Germination: Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination usually occurs within 10-14 days.
- Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 6-8 inches apart. Acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions gradually.
- Direct Sowing: In mild climates, seeds can be sown directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Cover lightly with soil and keep moist until germination.
Growing Tips:
- Sunlight: Pansies thrive in full sun to partial shade. In warmer climates, some afternoon shade will help protect them from intense heat.
- Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
- Fertilization: Feed pansies with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
- Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and prevent seed formation.
