Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your pansies in a location that receives either full sun or partial shade. Ensure your containers or beds have excellent drainage, as these plants do not tolerate waterlogged roots.
- Preparation: Choose a pot with drainage holes or prepare your garden bed with organic compost.
- Spacing: Space the plants appropriately, keeping in mind the 23cm mature spread to allow for healthy airflow.
- Watering: While they are hardy, they should not be allowed to dry out completely; check soil moisture weekly during dry spells.
- Maintenance: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming throughout the season.
- Feeding: A light application of liquid fertilizer during autumn can provide the necessary nutrients for extended winter flowering.
