How To Grow
Sow these seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant them in pots or trays with a quality starter mix, and cover lightly with peat moss. Then provide shade, as darkness assists germination. Keep the seeds moist until germination, which will occur in 7-21 days. As soon as seedlings emerge, move them to a cool, bright area and continue to keep them moist. Harden off the plants prior to planting outside. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer to feed the plants. For fall blooms, set pansies out as early as possible so they can establish roots.
