Planting Tips:
Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date for spring planting, or start in late summer for fall planting where the growing season allows. Pansies germinate best in cooler temperatures and prefer darkness during germination, so lightly cover seeds with soil. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Transplant outdoors once seedlings are established and temperatures are cool. Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flowering. Pansies grow best in rich, well-drained soil and thrive during cool weather.

🌱 Excellent for fall and spring gardens, flower beds, borders, containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, patios, and small spaces.
