Pansy (Viola Wittrockiana Clear Crystals Yellow) - Pansies have been around for centuries and were especially popular during the Victorian era and were thought to be the flower of lovers. The Pansy Viola collection has grown considerably over the years and today there is a large group of hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers and easily grown from flower seed. Many people refer to these hybrids as Viola Wittrockiana. This yellow Pansy does not have any blotches or markings but is just a single clear tone of color. A yellow Pansy flower is sure to brighten up any container or flower bed. How bright and sunny it is!
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 yellow 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.

Why are my pansies spindly?

When do pansies bloom?

Do pansies grow better in containers or in the ground?
