The plant itself is compact, not more than 9 inches in both height and spread, and bears many stems. The medium green,
coarsely notched leaves are oval or heart-shaped. Bedding plants need the same soil preparation and garden care as do
pansies grown from seed. Pansies perform best in a garden location that receives morning sun and has well-draining soil.
If the soil is not ideal, it may be amended to increase drainage.
To planting pansies, space the holes about six to ten inches apart. If you have not added organic matter to your soil to
boost fertility, now is the time to add fertilizer. A granular or time release fertilizer can be incorporated into the
garden soil as you are planting the pansies. By adding a granular fertilizer now, food is easily provided for the
plants' long term garden performance. The final step is to water the newly planted pansies thoroughly. Moving the
pansies from container to garden is a stress on the plants; it is crucial that they receive plenty of water during this
adjustment period. Plant Answers

Pansies can be difficult to start from seed. They require cool temperatures (60 - 65 degrees F.) and darkness, to
germinate. Covering the soil with black plastic will help germination, but the soil should be checked daily to make
sure it doesn't dry out under the plastic. Once the shoots are visible, the plastic should be removed. Seeds generally
germinate in 1-2 weeks, but allow 15 weeks from seeding to bloom. Marie Lannotti: About

Planting time is critical. It is true that pansies can weather temperatures in the single digits and bounce back after
the weather warms. But they can be that strong and resourceful only if they've had a chance to get a good footing
developing a strong root system before cold weather hits. For best results, plant pansies when the soil temperature is
between 45 and 70 degrees F. Soil temperatures below 45 degrees at planting time will result in inactive roots, stunted
plants, and little or no flowering. But if you plant too early (when the soil is above 70 degrees) you'll wind up with
leggy plants, yellowish leaves and few flowers. Pansies planted then are also more susceptible to frost; suggest
