Packaging: We work with the best German, Spanish, Dutch and Chilean seed suppliers, which allows us to offer you Pansy seeds collected and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Growing time: Pansy is a profuse flowering plant from autumn to spring. Depending on growing conditions, plants begin to flower approximately 10 to 12 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Pansy is known for its large, showy flowers, which can be a single color or display color combinations with contrasting spots. Coming in shades of purple, blue, yellow, red, white, and more, these flowers are highly decorative and have a long blooming period. In addition to their visual appeal, pansies are relatively easy to grow and are a popular choice for adding color during the cooler seasons.
Lighting: Prefers full sun or partial shade. In warmer climates, Pansies do best with some shade during the hottest hours of the day.
Watering: Pansies require regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, but well drained. It is important to avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot problems.
Pests: Pansies can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, snails and spider mites. Using environmentally friendly products such as potassium soap and Neem oil is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Pansies are fairly cold hardy and can withstand light frosts, making them a great choice for fall and spring. In temperate climates, they can bloom even during winter.
Substrate: A well-drained, organic-rich substrate is recommended. Pansies prefer slightly acidic to neutral soils and respond well to fertile, well-aerated soil.
Harvest: Pansy flowers are ideal for ornamental gardens and can be used in floral arrangements. Additionally, their flowers are edible and can be used to decorate salads and desserts. To prolong flowering, cut off wilted flowers regularly.
