The garden pansy is a type of large-flowered hybrid plant cultivated as a garden flower. It is derived by hybridization from several species in the section Melanium ("the pansies") of the genus Viola, particularly Viola tricolor, a wildflower of Europe and western Asia known as heartsease.
One of the most popular flowers today! Home gardeners are growing pansies (Viola x wittrockiana) from seed for their beautiful, round-faced blossoms and striking foliage. Also known as violas, they are often the garden’s first seen flowers and bloom in a variety of colors – all summer long! Cheerful plants are perfect for pots, window boxes, rock gardens or borders. Low maintenance pansy plants will provide cool weather color and can be overwintered with a good mulching in gardening zones six and higher. They are short-lived in very warm environments. Pansies are a self-seeding perennial — grown as an annual in the North — that can reach 8 to 10 inches tall, depending on the variety

Sow Pansy seeds indoors about 6 - 8 weeks prior to being able to plant outside. Sow the flower seed into trays or pots using a quality starter mix and cover lightly with peat moss. Shade the trays or pots as darkness aids germination. Keep Pansy flower seeds moist. As soon as the giant Pansy seedlings emerge, move them to a cool, bright area and continue to keep them moist. Harden off the Pansy plants prior to planting out, and use a liquid, balanced fertilizer. For fall blooms, set out Pansy plants as early as possible so they will be well rooted when soil temperatures fall, preferably 3 - 4 weeks before the first harsh frosts. For spring blooms, begin setting out Pansy plants up to a month before your last frost is expected. Twelve weeks are needed from seeding to bloom.
