Sowing and Growing Guide

Swiss Giant Mixed Pansy

Indoor Sowing

  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Fill seed trays with a seed starting mix and sow seeds 1/8 inch deep, 2-3 seeds per cell.
  • Keep the soil moist and at a consistent temperature of 60-65°F.
  • Seedlings should emerge in 10-14 days.
  • Once seedlings have developed their first true leaves, thin them to one per cell.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall and have at least two sets of true leaves.

Outdoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring or fall, after the last expected frost date.
  • Choose a location with well-draining soil that receives partial shade to full sun.
  • Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Keep the soil moist and weed-free.
  • Thin seedlings when they are 2-3 inches tall, leaving 6-8 inches between plants.

Growing

  • Swiss Giant Mixed Pansies prefer cool temperatures and well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist.
  • Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage blooming throughout the growing season.
  • Protect from pests, such as slugs and snails, by handpicking or using a slug bait.
  • Harvest flowers as desired for use in arrangements or for culinary purposes.
