How to grow Spreading Pansy Cool Wave Strawberry Swirl seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Pansies germinate best in cool conditions.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Coarse vermiculite to cover the seeds
• Blackout dome, newspaper, or a dark cover (pansy seeds germinate in darkness)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow in moist seed-starting mix and cover with a medium layer of coarse vermiculite
• Keep the tray in darkness until the seed coats crack

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Darkness during germination; bright light once seedlings emerge
• Temperature: 65-70°F (18-21°C) for germination
• Humidity: Keep the medium very moist and the humidity high during germination

Germination

• Expect germination within a few days to about 2 weeks
• Move trays into light as soon as green appears; grow on cool

Transplanting

• Transplant when seedlings have 2-3 true leaves and outdoor weather is cool
• Space plants 8-12 inches apart

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade; afternoon shade helps in warm areas
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist; water at the base of plants
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer
• Deadhead faded flowers to prolong blooming
