Outsidepride Pansy Ullswater - 1000 Seeds

Viola wittrockiana is a well-known and popular bedding plant for early fall, winter and spring blooms. This Swiss Giant Pansy ‘Ullswater’ has deep blue blooms with a yellow center. Pansies are lovely in the front of the flower bed or in containers and baskets. They are charming and make nice cut flowers as well. For spring blooms, it is best to start the seed indoors in the late winter. Press the seed into the soil and lightly cover with peat moss. Darkness aids germination so it is best to shade the starter tray. With a temperature of 65 - 70F, germination normally occurs within 21 days. Harden off the seedling prior to planting outdoors. Space the young plants outdoors 9 – 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in moist, well-drained soil. Pansies can be grown as annuals, biennials or perennials depending on the climate. Twelve weeks are needed from seeding to blooming. Deadheading encourages continuous blooms.
