Growing Non-GMO Halloween II Pansy Flower Seeds

Sow Halloween II pansy seeds indoors using a starting kit 10-12 weeks before the final frost. Pansies do not grow naturally in the wild and are not recommended for direct sowing. Maintain pansy seeds in complete darkness until germination, then place them under fluorescent grow lights for 16 hours per day, with 8 hours of darkness. Harden off seedlings before transplanting them outside to a shady, cool spot in the garden, or to a comparable place indoors. Avoid overhead watering to minimize wetting foliage.

Halloween II pansies are a dwarfed 6-8" tall variety. When transplanting seedlings from indoors to outdoors, it is essential to acclimatize them slowly to their new environment. Place them outside for a few hours a day and gradually increase the duration until they are ready to transplant. It is important to deadhead the flowers regularly and provide the plants with adequate water and nutrients to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.

About Halloween II Pansy Garden Seeds

Viola x wittrockiana is a hybrid resulting from tri-colored violas. The pansy exists only as a result of the mass crossing and hybridization of the viola during the 19th century and has never grown naturally in the wild. There is much debate and etymological red tape over the interchangeability of the common terms "pansies", "violas", and "violets". The species wittrockiana pays homage to 19th-century pioneering botanist Veit Brecher Wittrock.

The word "pansy" is derived from the French word "pensee," which means "thought." The plant was named for its flower's markings, which resemble a human face, with the lines on the petals mirroring facial features. Some people also believed that the pansy had the power to bring back lost thoughts or memories, which may have contributed to its name.
