planting pansies for first time,anything I should know?
|
|||
|
Plant them in a well drained soil, in a sunny spot. And water well for the first few days so they can establish themselves!

Plant them in a soil well amended with organic matter that is evenly moist but well drained in full sun. Periodically pinch them back so they do not get too leggy.

Blood meal is a very readily available source of Nitrogen that could cause nice vegetative growth at the expense of flowers. If you make the soil into a good, healthy soil well endowed with organic matter, that kind of material will not be needed.

Mine do get leggy so I'll be sure to pinch them back. I just love pansies they make me feel happy!!

Pinch or cut off the flowers as they begin to droop so that they don't go to seed. The plant will stop or slow down the production of flowers once it has produced seed.

I love pansies and try to get some in the fall -- they'll bloom through the winter whenever it is mild. In the spring I get more and plant a lot of them -- they'll last until it gets warm at which time most of the annuals are really cheap.
Pansies are one of my favorites. I did buy some "perennial pansies" this year -- three (they were expensive suckers) and I'll see if they come back next spring -- if they do, I'll get more. I did tuck those into the garden rather than pots. Martha |
