Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Start seed indoors in trays 8 to 12 weeks before last frost. Seeds require darkness to germinate, so cover lightly. Pansies can withstand a light frost, so cold-climate gardeners can pick a transplant date that is about 2 weeks before the last frost.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Harvest when the flowers are starting to open. Stems lengthen over time. Expect a vase life of 5 to 7 days.
