This summer I will grow pansies from seed for the first time. In SC they can be planted in the fall and will overwinter which is great because box stores try to sell them here at the same time they sell them in Ohio. Thank you for passing on the information about germinating pansies in the dark. I would never have guessed that.
I started pansies in my aerogarden last year. Didn't know they need darkness to germinate...somehow they still germinated and grew, but it took forever! Now I know why! This is am awesome video. Thank you! One of my favorite flowers.
Thanks so much for this! I always wondered why I couldn't recreate this one great pansy window box I had years ago. I think I just accidentally planted them out early and they loved it and grew beautifully for me. Any advice for a fall-early winter pansy container (if you don't expect any early freezes)?
First time groeing from seed this year. My pansies have sprouted so little seedlings right now since I did cover them in darkness for like two weeks. I didn’t realize I could move them outside eight weeks prior to the last frost. I’m in 7a now and last frost is mid April. I’m going to put them in containers and see how things work out. Thanks for all details in the video.
I have never heard of Pansy sugar. So off to a google rabbit hole I went! 😂 Do you sift the flower bits out after pulsing them with the sugar? You have inspired me to try something new 😊
Hello, I love this video. I have a question??? The seeds that you bought from Johnny’s are they a certain kind of pansy that can grow taller pansy’s or can any pansy seed be made to grow taller by your technique ????
Are those your lizianthus behind you? Mine are doing very little to nothing and look almost the same as they were when I planted them a long time ago. :( Would love to see a garden tour. I feel like all my plants are so far behind. (I’m also in Denver)
Unfortunately tiny seedlings take forever to grow big and aphids and snails decimate them way before i get any blooms. I have to baby them inside the house for weeks.
My pansies overwintered here in Michigan! I was so happy to see little flowers popping out of the snow in March!
Ah, yes!! They can also reseed if you leave them in the ground. 😍
You read my mind. I was just thinking about pansies today! Perfect timing. :)
Thanks for that tip about keeping seed trays in the cool dark! I had no idea.
Glad to see this video, as I was super intrigued by the pansies in your spring tour. Never ever seem them look so good and full before.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!

Hello, I want to try this too! If your planting them in the fall then does that mean your starting them from seed now?

Very useful video. I'll try this next winter!!!

I was interested to see that you plant them so densely. I will try that next year. I have a good part shade spot for pansies.
It seems to help shade the roots too ❤️❤️
I love pansies. I purchased the Frizzle Sizzle variety as well, but mostly for the colors not for cutting purposes.
They are such fun colors!!!
THANK YOU! I am looking to grow so many more next year. I am adoring them! My batch worked out great. I germinated in a black bag.
Smart!! They are so old fashioned and sweet. I love them too ❤️
I missed my window this spring but im gointo do overwinter this fall.i love soil blocking
I love their cute little faces.
Very interesting 🌸 Thank you very much for sharing 🌱👍

Would these tips also work for violas, too? I've had a heck of a time trying to get them to grow from seed, but finally got some going this spring.
Yes!
Is there a handy source for what flowers require light vs dark and heat vs no heat for germination?
What is pansy sugar?
Do you have to do a cold stratification, or do they germinate well just from planting and keeping dark?
I store all my seeds in the freezer so they naturally all get a cold stratification, otherwise, yes!! They benefit from that!
@@Blossomandbranch Thank you!

I’ll do a tour this week! No lisi behind me, that’s mint!! Haha so don’t feel bad. My stuff is very late this year as well!
🤣 I send my kids out to harvest flowers for me too
Haha hey it’s teaching them the value of work, right??

They like the cold but cant tolerate a freeze? Is that what you're saying when you say put yhem in the garage or indoors?
My seedling pansies and violas sat outside in snow and freezing temperatures with no issue.
They can tolerate a freeze! But sometimes we drop to single digits in early spring and I bring them in if we drop below 12 or so.
Where do you order your seeds from?
Johnnys seeds :)
@@Blossomandbranch thank you!
