Growing Pansies
Pansies are widely known between those who cultivate flowers. They can be found in almost any color, in shades from pale
and soft to bright and vivid.
Growing pansies could be very successfully during fall and winter. Experts recommend to sow seed indoors in mid-summer,
six to eight weeks before transplanting. The pansies can be transplanted into the garden once the summer heat has
been broken and cooler weather arrives.

Violas and pansies grow in zones 1-11. All do best in light shade and moist soil liberally enriched with compost or leaf
mold. Most gardeners buy started plants and set them out in the spring; often such pansy plants have already started to bloom.
Set plants 8 inches apart. Pansies are easily grown from seeds. Additional information in Sara Murphy's personal site.

A raised bed in full sun is the best place to grow pansies. Add one cup of slow-release lawn fertilizer and 2 pounds of
a bone meal and blood meal mixture spread over 50 square feet of bed. Incorporate into the soil at the initial planting
stage. Plant individual pansy transplants every six inches to about one foot apart in your landscape. They will have to
be watered every day for the first five days. After that, water twice a week or whenever the soil dries to one inch deep.
Two inches of mulch helps conserve water and improves pansy performance. It is most efficient to water with drip
irrigation laid underneath two inches of a fine, organic living mulch. Control slugs and snails with a slug and insect
bait.
Protect your pansies during cold weather by temporarily allowing them to wilt! The dry leaves are not damaged by cold;
they recover nicely when warmer temperatures appear. But if the soil is frozen while dry, with frigid winds howling
across the leaves, the roots of the pansy plants will be unable to transport water back to the leaves. For this reason,
keep beds thoroughly mulched with at least two inches of a living organic mulch during the winter. If a Siberian
Express is forecast, cover all of your beds with a layer of winter protection, such as Gro-Web or Insulate. These
protective blankets will hold heat in the soil, and it will shelter pansy leaves from the harsh winds. Always water your
flower beds and container plants thoroughly, and protect before a prolonged cold spell. Texas Cooperative Extension
