Start Pansy seeds indoors 10-14 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting into their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant spacing directions below. Pick a location sheltered from the wind and receives at least 6 hours of sun per day. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

Suggestions
- Very effective for edgings, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Attractive cut flowers for petite bouquets. Enchanting in rock gardens. Keep moist and remove faded flowers to prolong bloom.
Growing Suggestions:
- Pansies prefer full-sun placement in the morning and some afternoon shade from the really hot sunlight.
- A common reason why pansies fail to thrive is due to not being watered enough. If your pansies are not doing well, try watering them more.
- Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer as this will encourage more foliage than flowers.
- Regularly removing spent flowers, known as deadheading will promote continuous blooming and encourage the growth of fresh buds. Try shearing the plants back when they start to set seed to encourage new growth and flowers.
