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.
