How to Start Pansy Seeds Indoors

Hi everyone. Susie here. Today I am starting my Pansy seeds hoping they will be blooming by the time I plant them out at the end of April or the start of May. I am hoping to enjoy these for at least a month until I start to plant up my containers with my summer annuals. Hope you enjoy!

Ive never started pansy seeds i think ill give then a try. There are so many beautiful kinds. I have started winter sowing in my milk jugs and plastic bottles. I still have seed orders coming in. I too like swallow tail seeds i buy all my Coleus from them! Happy Growing!

I'm also in zone 4b southeast Idaho (high desert, very dry). I grew the frizzle sizzles last year and blue velvet. So gorgeous! They are overwintering in the back of my garage and still seem ok.

I can't wait to see mine bloom. Thanks for watching

Holy moly -2! I’m forever grateful I live in Texas. 😂

I just started my seeds in a 50 cup tray to be ready in Ohio spring so let's hope it works.

[@floralnhardy7332]

Thanks for watching and good luck with your seeds

I just expanded my garden by 110sq ft with 2 cu. Yards of garden soil to plant other seeds totaling 100 more but I give away a bunch to help others and not waste plants.

I learned alot from this video! I had a poor year starting my pansies last year!! Back to the drawing board, I will try your way! Thanks!

Awesome you are so right! Starting mix is a bit of a gimmick. Most sees companies will even tell you not to feed anything untill you want that vegetative growth. Idk how my duck eggs always hatch without any Duck Starting Mix in them lol. And yeah I think the nitrogen makes them leggy and dampen off

Should i water the seeds daily? Keep them moist? Thats the only part that im confused about?

[@floralnhardy7332]

Yes. They can't dry out while they are germinating. I use a humidity dome and when I seed about 50% have germinated, I take the humidity dome off. They usually germinate within 7 to 10 days for me. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Where do you buy your pansy and viola seeds? I am always looking for new sources! 🙃☘️🌷🌼

[@floralnhardy7332]

I bought my pansy seeds from swallowtailgardenseeds.com

[@mylesgarcia4625]

So it's about 15 days now since I planted some pansy seeds & have kept the pots indoors. Now, little sprouts have started to come out. SHould I put them out in the sun for a few hours, or is it still too early for that? BTW, I'm in the SF Bay Area.

[@floralnhardy7332]

I would put them outside for about 1 hour the first day and then slowly increase the sun everyday, just so your little seedlings don't burn. If your temps are mild, it should be ok. Make sure to protect them for strong winds too. I am hoping to start hardening off mine about mid April, but I usually wait until the daytime temps are in the 50's. Thanks for watching

How long does it take for them to germinate ?

[@floralnhardy7332]

It usually takes about a week to germinate. Thanks for watching.

I’m starting a package. I’m really nervous lol

[@floralnhardy7332]

When I first started growing seeds indoors, I was nervous also. Now I just sow them and have fun. It doesn't always work out but it is a great learning experience. All 3 types of my pansies germinated. It took at least 7 days before I saw anything. Thanks for watching and happy seed sowing
