Pansy (Viola Tricolor St. Ravel Mix) - Buy your St. Ravel pansy seed mix grown from viola tricolor seeds. Easily grown from Pansy seeds, this Pansy mix has every color your need for your flower garden. Pansy plants are great performers in the garden, in tubs on the patio or for cut flower bouquets, and they will flower the first year. Viola tricolor, is a biennial pansy only growing approximately 6 inches tall.
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 giant 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 Pansy plants 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. Twelve weeks are needed from seeding to bloom
Common Questions
Are pansies edible?

Why are my pansies spindly?

Should pansies be deadheaded?

When do pansies bloom?
Pansies bloom in the fall and in spring into early summer when the weather is cool.
Do pansies grow better in containers or in the ground?
Pansies flourish in both pots and raised beds. Because they have shallow roots, it's important not to plant them too deeply in dense soil. Always opt for well-draining soil for beds and a light potting mix for containers, ensuring that the containers also have drainage holes.
