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. No garden is complete without a Red pansy flower with a black blotch! Easily grown from Pansy seeds, this Swiss giant Pansy reaches 3 inches across and features a Red bloom with a black blotch. They are short-lived in very warm environments. Pansies are a self-seeding perennial — grown as an annual in the North — that can reach 4 to 10 inches tall, depending on the variety Fun fact: Pansy flowers and leaves are edible and offer super-sized amounts of vitamins A and C.
Growing: 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.
