Growing Non-GMO Swiss Giant Mixture Pansy Flower Seeds

Sow Swiss Giant Mixture pansy seeds indoors 12-14 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 location indoors. Avoid overhead irrigations to minimize wetting foliage.

When transplanting seedlings from indoors to outdoors, it is important to acclimatize them slowly to their new environment. Put them outside for a few hours a day, gradually increasing the duration until they are ready to be transplanted. It is important to deadhead the flowers regularly and provide the plants with adequate water and nutrients to promote healthy growth and many blooms.

About Swiss Giant Mixture Pansy Garden Seeds

Viola x wittrockiana is a hybrid resulting from tri-colored violas. The pansy exists only because of the crossing and hybridization of the viola during the 19th century, and was never found in the wild. There is much discussion and etymological red tape about 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," meaning "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 believe that pansies can bring back lost thoughts or memories.
