How to Sow and Plant
+
Sow summer pansy seeds indoors from mid-March to mid-April at 20°C in seed trays. Once seedlings develop light green leaves, transplant them into pots and harden off before planting outdoors from mid-April to mid-May. For outdoor sowing, direct sow seeds in a well-prepared seedbed during the same period. Choose a location with light sun exposure to encourage healthy growth. Space the plants adequately to allow for their 35 cm height. This method ensures vibrant, fragrant blooms in shades of white, pink, and purple from July to September.
Summer pansies thrive best in locations with light sun, where the fragrant blooms can flourish. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging the soil to encourage healthy growth and vibrant flower clusters. Regular deadheading will promote prolonged flowering from July to September. These plants reach about 35 cm in height and respond well to balanced fertilization during the growing season. Their delightful scent and colorful petals make them ideal for pots or garden beds, while occasional pruning helps maintain shape and vigor. Protect from strong winds to preserve the delicate flowers and enjoy their beauty indoors as cut flowers.
