Blooms & Form
Viola tricolor var. hortensis, commonly known as Pansy, produces large, rounded blooms with a delicate, velvet-like texture. The Vintage Shades variety is especially unique for its soft pastel tones with subtle, darker markings in the center, giving them a timeless, vintage feel. These plants grow about 6-8 inches tall and 8-10 inches wide, making them ideal for both ground cover and container plantings. Pansies are also known for their cold tolerance, thriving in cool weather and providing early spring color.

How to Grow

1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
2. Where to Plant: Pansies prefer full sun to partial shade and well-draining, slightly acidic soil.
3. Planting Tips: Lightly press seeds into the soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge.
4. Care Tips: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Pansies are cold-tolerant, but if grown in warmer climates, provide afternoon shade to protect from the heat.

These Vintage Shades Pansy seeds bring timeless beauty and color to your garden, with blooms that will last through cool spring weather and early summer. Perfect for adding charm and character to any space, they also make wonderful additions to flower arrangements and bouquets.
