Pansy

Growing from seed

Start Pansy indoors about 14 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in cooler soil (around 10–18 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 14 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in partial sun, spaced about 20 cm apart. Expect the first blooms in roughly 70 days.
