Pansy (Viola Wittrockiana Clear Crystals Scarlet) - If you want to add a touch of drama to your flower garden, start Pansy seeds for this stunning scarlet variety. Viola x wittrockiana Clear Crystals are known for their superb selection of clear colors without blotches. This scarlet Pansy flower is brilliant and it will catch the attention of neighbors and everyone passing by. Pansies are early and free-flowering, and they are also perfect for fall color as well. Either in the border or in containers, Pansy plants are reliable bloomers. They also make nice cut flowers! Pansy care includes deadheading the spent blooms to promote longer blooming.
Sow Pansy seeds indoors about 6 - 8 weeks prior to being able to plant outside. Sow the flower seed into trays or pots using a quality starter mix and cover lightly with peat moss. Shade the trays or pots as darkness aids germination. Keep Pansy flower seeds moist. As soon as the Pansy seedlings emerge, move them to a cool, bright area and continue to keep them moist. Harden off the Pansy plants prior to planting out, and use a liquid, balanced fertilizer. For fall blooms, set out Pansies as early as possible so they will be well rooted when soil temperatures fall, preferably 3 - 4 weeks before the first harsh frosts. For spring blooms, begin setting out Pansy plants up to a month before your last frost is expected. Pansy flowers blooms 12 weeks after sowing the flower seed.
