Exactly what I wanted to know and hear, that they can make it through summer with some extra TLC. Great video! Thanks!
Ahh...this was indeed helpful for us novices! I always thought dead-heading was for the "dead" flowers only. Interesting to see you can cut them down along the stem and not just pull off the head. Great video!
This was extremely helpful and straightforward. You actually covered quite a bit in a short time. Thank you very much!
I'm happy you found this helpful ☺
This is the best plant video I have seen in a while. Comprehensive. Completely answered my search question and I especially enjoyed the saving time tip: remove all flower heads a week before wanting a good pansy show. Thanks.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video... my routine with the pansies is deadhead every Sunday... by mid Eason onward the plants are bushy and LOADED with blooms... it can get time consuming... so I usually continue with just a handful of my favorite Pansy plants for the summer
Man you ARE a life saver AND a GOOD damn teacher. That was very INFORMATIVE.
THAT'S a lot.
Thank you 😀 glad you found it helpful
Thank you! Finally a video that makes perfect sense for a novice.

In late summer or fall I let them go to seed and the next spring i get tones of new violas and even different varieties that I have never even planted!
How I have I never learned this??!! Violas and pansies are and have always been my favorite flower. Until now...I had no idea this was how to better care for them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
I look forward to hearing back how it worked for you 😀 it's something you need to keep up with... pansies and viola really don't like the summer heat... BUT if you are diligent with deadheading they can thrive all summer... but if you miss a week they can set seed and yellow quick... I usually pick a few to make a project... but let the others complete their life cycle
I have pansies in various containers. I'm hoping to keep them going all summer by moving them to cooler areas. Love them - the little faces are so cute! =)
I love them too :) They are such happy flowers :)
Arent they beautiful
Flowers are so beautiful! I like purple flowers,
Purple is a Great flower color... I also really like Blue :)
Watched this video last spring (2021) and I would say that this information kept all my flowers blooming throughout the growing season for the first time ever. I never knew about deadheading until last year and what a difference it made in my little garden.
Thank you for taking the time to come back and share your experience. deadheading is beneficial for so many annuals... experiment with others :)
Watching here my friend your beautiful flowers....
I love Pansies..Love to cross pollinate my own version by harvesting my seeds and planting them the next year.
Thank you. You are first video that actually shows close ups and meaningful detailed explanations. Very helpful.
very helpfull video , ive just planted some and looking forward to the flowers , also so nice to be able to watch and learn from a video without annoying music in the background
I experimented with pansies this year by planting them directly into garden soil without compost or mulch. They did OK in the first week but gradually got worse as the soil dried out despite me spot watering them every evening. Yet after recent rain they sprung up back to life, revitalized -- which seems to show how important mulch is in retaining moisture and regulating temperature.
Thank you for watching :) Best of luck with your Pansies :)
Thank you! I just bought a flat of pansies and started thinking they would only last through June. I appreciate your education!
Glad I could help! and with good care they should be huge by the end of summer... they really don't like full afternoon sun in the heat of summer... but with lots of water and deadheading they can make it through
PlantzNThings They will be planted in an area of mixed shade and sun, mostly shade. I am pleased I stumbled upon your video because pansies are one of my favorite flowers. I am a terrible gardener who tries. Thank you again!
Thanks so much for such a great video! I'm a beginner gardener and I love petunias and pansies, but I didn't know how to look after them properly so they always died out after a month or two. Now I think I have the confidence to try again :)
RainaAstaldo it will make all the difference :) you will love your pansies again :)
@@PlantzNThings😊❤😂
First time I tried Pansies in my high altitude Colorado climate was last Summer. At first my results were sluggish...then I watched your tutorial and they started to perk right up, giving me a nice show till Autumn. Just put in my 2014 plants (Delta Reds and Delta Oranges) and I'm looking so forward to the results! Thanks for teaching!
I'm so happy to hear that you got some good results :) Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for the info :)
Pansies (and violas) are one of my favorite flowers, so I've actually just purchased a variety of pansy/viola seeds. I already have a few violas and pansies, and my absolute favorite is my viola columbine. It's a perennial and has very beautiful pastel purple and white colored flowers.
Pansies are for spring and fall here in zone 5. They can take the cooler temperatures of early spring and late fall. They are not intended for summer use here. When my summer annuals look tired and leggy at the end of summer, I replace them with Pansies. The local nurseries only sell them in the spring and fall.
What a great video. Finally a clear and concise tutorial.
Thank you :)
Thank you. I wasn't aware about removing the buds, so I'll defeinitly do that.
They look like butterflies. 🦋
I'm from Central India and we have a tropical climate with good Winter for 4 months. When should I plant its seeds ? I'm very inspired by your videos to try growing them. Right now the ups and lows are 33°C and 22°C, is this the right time to grow these ?
Great informative video that showed me how to encourage petunias. I am new to growing them and excited to know some tips!
Thank you! I quit buying them because they petered out on me in July! I'll start buying them again, they are so pretty!
kathys999 It takes some time... but they are such cute flowers... and the plant gets bushier as the season moves on.
Yes if you put the seeds on a damp paper towel in a ziploc bag in the fridge for 6-8 weeks that should break the dormancy
Thanks Bill.
I don't know about you, but I am always reluctant to cut back the pansies, since I've placed so much care and effort into growing - but I will need to cut back and as you say it will grow back and be much healthier. My window boxes at the front of the house have a yellow theme - and I adore the violas, indeed like happy faces. And then my hanging basket with the petunias, that since watching your video, have proved to be so so healthy since cutting back and producing so many flowers - I will certainly be very reluctant to cut that one back - ha ha!!
I went to a gardening class many years ago and suppose that sparked my interest in making pot plants and window boxes.
Just another thing Bill, Ireland gets it fair share of rain - however, I still water the plants as am sure there is not suffice rain water getting into the plants - I refer to the hanging basket here? Do you agree?
You take care..
Enjoy your weekend.
Oh yes you need to water your pots. you are doing the right thing :) the water doesn't really seem to get into the pots when it rains and you need to get in there after and top it up :)
if you are nervous about cutting back your pansies might I suggest you prune one branch or stem back each week. this way your plant slowly bushes out and you don't loose out on any blooms... I use this method most frequently...
Great information - thank you! Showing which ones and how to remove helped this novice immensely. 🌷👍😃
Glad it helped :) your plants will get very bushy and loaded with blooms
Awesome Video! I’m a beginner with flowers. This helped me tremendously
Hello from Spain, Very helpful video, I am going to trim mine now. I love pansies.
Natasha Igrec Hello all the way in Spain :) you will love the results you get when you continue trimming off faded blooms. they get so bushy and so many blooms
Thanks!!! I can´t wait!
I just bought some seeds, so when I get them going I will try this tip. Thanks for sharing this video.
Good luck :) They are so cute and Beautiful.
Excellent teacher, hands on, really descriptive and useful for an amateur like myself to understand. Thank you kindly.
Thanks Bill,i never tried to keep them in the summer,i have 2 beautiful ones at my mail box i will try keeping them as you suggest.
you can certainly try. it might make the bloom season longer... perennials and annuals have different life cycles.
I would plant them in morning sun but shade them from the hot afternoon sun. If your really hot you will need to remember to keep them moist. but not soggy :) Good luck :)
Thank you for watching :)
Just bought some and I didn't have good luck last year. This will help me a whole lot.
Thanks for your info and posting.
We always have pansies in our garden, so I will do this from now on. Thank you!
I just love your videos. Lots of good information. I learn alot from you.
So just like caring for petunias. This is my first year (2022) with pansies, the cool wave ones at that. I first discovered the wave pansies on the internet, but they are not readily available in my area. I found a greenhouse that only did three flats, but they are REALLY expensive ($4.19 for a single plant in a 3 1/2" pot). I am going to propagate a few cuttings. I mostly do petunias and what they are charging is highway robbery. If my propagation is successful, then in (2023) I will do propagation to save money.
Love your videos! So smart.
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
I love that Bill is just hands...👍🏻
no face here :)

Thank you. I will try this out today.
very good video, I love these and see I can put them here and there in my garden for the whole season.
Thanks for the tips.
they look just like butterflies amazing God work
+WEST COAST That are a very Beautiful and unique flower :)
PlantzNThings, indeed they are I'm thinking of planting them in my place...thanks for the video
I did know that was supposed to tell the plants to stop growing. I always pull the dead flowers off thinking that would help produce more flowers. thanks to you I know to take the seed pods off too. I'm going to do this for my grandma tomorrow. she'll be like what are you doing to my beautiful flowers. I'll say trust me grandma you will get more beautiful flowers. lol.
YAY! Let me know how it goes :)
thanks for so much info on such a helpful video, I am new at gardening and decided to try it at pots on my porch. Looks good so far just hope I can keep them alive. Very informative on how to dead head as I always just took the dead flowers off. Very informative as I didn't know how far to pinch back. Thanks for so much info,
GOD bless
Mary Weintz As the summer gets warmer you'll need to water these very often as well.. they will not like to become completely dry for long periods.
great tips Bill. I tried your petunia tips and the results are amazing. Like a ball of purple flowers!
Thank you. Your videos on plant care are very helpful!
Thank you :) I'm happy you find some of them useful :)
I agree!!
love those pruners your using love pansies
All the information I wanted and more! Great video!
Very Nice Indeed! Thank You.
Good video! I've always deadheaded somewhat but after watching your video I had to go out & do it correctly. I always get impatient with them when they get leggy & prune dramatically & it always ends up killing them.
Bill - I have been growing pansies for years in window boxes. I feel more comfortable growing these, rather then petunias - I have watched that video too.
I planted numerous window boxes in April and are still thriving - I water and dead head everday and feed generally 4 times a week. One of the pansies are very leggy - almost 8 inches high!!! These are the smaller faces - I have to say, I think the pansies with larger faces are more striking. My personal opinion.
Love from Ireland
That's wonderful. to be honest with you.. I also prefer pansies over petunias... the pansies seem to make me smile. As your pansies get tall and leggy don't be afraid to trim the plants back a little. they will branch out quickly and produce even more blooms :)
Keep up the Great work Sharon :)
Thanks for the great tips
Apologies Will for jumping back in time. I have a bunch of Volunteer Johnny Jump Ups throughout my landscape. In the lawn, some plots, even between the paving stones. Should I transplant them into my planter or pot them up and store in the garage? Not sure what to do...are they perennial or just self sowing and pop up every year? I would appreciate your help.
Thank you for watching :).. And I'm so happy to hear that your having great success with your petunias :) Let's hope Pansies will treat you the same :)
PlantzNThings 6 years later and I want to thank you so much for this video! We just planted some pansies in our planters on the deck and now with your excellent video we are versed on caring for our pansies 😎 keep up the great work! (As I see you are) you have a new subscriber and can’t wait to dive into your channel once I finish the new beds in the side yard! Back to work 😊
This was great! I just bought a townhome with a lovely 'pansy garden' on the back patio. Any suggestions on plantfood you like? Thanks!
I usually just go with a miracle grow all purpose... or ultra bloom...
I am at my witts end trying to figure out what is eating my moat expensive pansies in my planters with solar lights in them.
Instead of the typical $2.50 or $3 for a flat of 6 small ones I finally found the exact shade of mauve/lavender/white white with bigger flowers that my grandmother kept going for many years by moving them into her sun room.
I paid $5 per plant which doesn't sound like much but I have 10 of them. They were GORGEOUS for a week & then something began nibbling the flower petals & over the course of 3 days it takes a new bloom from beautiful to petals completely gone.
I keep them covered in DE & I have coarsely crushed egg shells that I sprinkle in the pots & onto the plants themselves. I've also resorted to critter control granules with cloves etc in them. They smell lovely to us wafting through the window but the rabbits & squirrels don't like them.
We do have sparrows but these planters are visible from our living room & I never have birds in them.
Can you reuse the seeds to grow more plants? Same with petunia's? I love pansies and thanks to your video I am going to go clean them up. They are really leggy. Do they want sun or shade? Mine are mostly in the shade. Thank you for your video!
I fond my potted and hanging basket by using a bottle of water with banna skins twice a week your plants thrive also great for tree's and just keep filling milk bottle as skins last for some time.
'fond'?
I have feed my roses with blended water and banana peel as well. Has good nutrients and I've heard it helps to resist bugs.
a fantastic video thank you so much
Many pansies need a cold period for the seeds to sprout.. however that said, i'm sure that some species of viola would grow fairly well for you... i would try them if you have a cooler season first... I'm sure you never see cold like me.. what are your average temps?
SO helpful ... Thank you 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for going into detail! I'm a newbie at gardening and you answered the exact questions I had! :) I can't wait to start really enjoying my flowers!
True. You don't need to deadhead cascading (wave, supertunia) petunias but they also benefit from cutting back as they tend to get long and lanky.
This was so informative. Thanks for making the video. I wasn't doing this, never thought to do it at all. I love pansies this will help me this year.
Great information! Thank you! I am in zone 8 in Alabama (USA). We plant these as winter annuals because it almost never gets cold enough to kill them off!
Very helpful video - thank you.
great info-esp on how to dead head
Deadheading is so important with these 😀
Thank you, I love pansies but got discouraged because mine always got leggy, now I know how to keep them looking nice
Thanks for this, very helpful.
excellent video. Thanks
I love these flowers. Been growing them for years now, but it is only recently that I have managed to get them to become big, bushy, and worthy of making my neighbors jealous xD. Got quite alot of them hanging around my garden, and they are starting to become very beautiful. After I learned about this whole deadheading thing of the flowers, which I actually was only made aware this season whilst I was resupplying on flowers from my local gardener, they have become even quicker to grow.
I have never been able to grow them from seeds though. They have kind of always died on me. Gonna retry it this fall, see if I can get them bright and shiny for the season of 2021.
That's Great!!! Big and beautiful pansies are a labor of love but worth it ...
So lovely, thank you so much for sharing, Annie
Useful information, thanks for sharing
This is soooo helpful! Thanks for taking the time to post this video. I received many compliments on my very simple pansies...they were truly beautiful for such an easy-going flower. Then all of a sudden the stems got "leggy" - a new gardening term for me. Hopefully I'll be able to return these flowers to their earlier glory. I will definitely subscribe to your channel and view more of your videos.
good tip, thanks!
thanks love this video
Very helpful. Thank you
Okay I'm going to try this ! I have a hanging trailing pansy lots of dead flowers I'll probably end up cutting 1/3 off 😳.. we've had lots of rain cooler temps in Kansas (out of the norm for this time of year. It's usually hot by now) probably best to hang in dappled sun area anticipating the heat that's coming right?
Right :)
@@PlantzNThings thanks 😁👍
Diane, I think I'm just South of you in 6a. I've been working with my Pansies as he describes in video. I had been just trimming back the flower heads but about 1-2 weeks ago cut back about an inch of upper foliage. I do try to water and feed them with a diy fertilizer.
@@hibiscus-dreams I'm in 6a as well. I cut mine back and flushed it with fish fertilizer.. hopefully I'll have great results 👍😉
Last year I made it my mission to get to know my yard and how to maintain the flowers. I have Pansies in the Front and Petunias in the back. But only bc pansies can do pretty well in shade and I have very little shade planting area in back (hence the Petunias) though they both seem behave similarly. I tore up, removed bushes and roots from front yard last summer for my exercise. I'm really enjoying the cooler-ish weather we've had so I'm hoping it sticks around for a while.
Thank you
Thank you so much. Can you prune the old dying leaves too?
Great video, you did a wonderful job. Very informative.
Thank you :)
Can you make a time lapse video on how to germinate pansies from seed till germination. My last year's Pansy was dead and I can't even germinate a single seed from around 100 seeds.
Hi, do pansies do well in shade with no direct sun at all??
Thanks for the tips. What is the plant behind the pansy, with the yellow flower called? It’s beautiful
Gazania a great drought tolerant plant, flowers profusely in spring and then all summer long,
Also it comes in lots of different colors.
So i planted pansies in a hanging basket. Watered them and they were doing fine until someone else watered them with the hose. I think they watered too harshly and probably overwatered them. Plus yesterday the wind was nuts and they were still delicate. Today they are completely drooping. Should i cut them back or just wait until the soil dries a bit?
Is that seed fully formed? I'm wondering because I always dead head mine, but would like to keep some seeds. Can I keep those from the dead heads to replant?
It's worth a shot :)
I'm heading outside now! Thanks
Wonderful :) Pansies can get very full and beautiful if they are well looked after :)
PlantzNThings I pruned the pansies and petunias now waiting to see the beauty. Thanks again
:) You will be very happy with the results i'm sure :)
PlantzNThings ok
Hi again, should I plant my pansies, in full sun or shade after taking them out of the fridge?
Can you keep the seed pods for next summer?
I love pansies and, somehow, without any care, mine have managed throughout the season. I believe it's the setting, as I only get morning sun and I always water my boxes and hanging plants copiously. (I always keep pansies in containers.)
But now I want to try deadheading to see if it improves them even more. Thank you!
I also want to collect seeds for next year. I started doing that with other flowers (marigolds, morning glories and zinnias so far) and found the seeds superior to those bought in the store. All I do is store them in envelopes in the fridge all winter, marking each when they're collected. It's obscene. ONE flower will produce as many seeds as you get in a package of seeds. One.
I saw a video on collecting the seeds. Do you have a video about planting pansy seeds? Mostly I wonder when to start them and if there's any preparation the seeds need prior to planting? (For instance, with Morning Glories, you should soak them and put a small slit in each seed before planting.)
Still waiting for a reply.
If it goes to seed will I get some next season?
You should... as long as you don't weed them out
Suscribed! Great video. I'd like to know if it's necessary to stratify Pansies seeds ?
Awesome and helpful video! New subscriber here!
I'm happy you found this useful :) Thank you for subscribing :)
Great video!!!!!!!!
