FAQs
Are these plants frost-proof?
Yes, they are tested and proven to withstand temperatures as low as -25C, making them excellent for winter conditions.
Can I plant these directly into the ground?
While they can survive in the ground, their trailing habit makes them best suited for containers, baskets, and window boxes where they can cascade.
How often should I water them?
Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. Check the soil every few days, especially if the plants are in a sheltered position away from rainfall.
When is the best time to plant them?
Plant them as soon as they arrive to allow them to establish their root systems before the harshest winter weather sets in.
Will these attract bees?
Yes, these pansies are known to attract pollinators, helping to maintain garden activity during the cooler months.
Do I need to protect them during heavy snow?
They are hardy enough to survive snow, but clearing heavy, wet snow off the blooms can help prevent stems from snapping.
Troubleshooting
Plants look wilted despite cold weather
Check the soil moisture; containers often dry out due to wind and may require watering even in winter.
Growth has slowed down significantly
Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight and apply a balanced liquid feed to provide necessary nutrients.
Few flowers appearing
Remove spent blooms regularly (deadheading) to encourage the plant to produce new flower spikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Upon arrival, unpack the garden-ready plants immediately and give them a light watering if the compost feels dry.
- Planting: Use a premium multipurpose compost. If planting in pots, ensure there are drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- Placement: Choose a spot with good natural light. These plants are compatible with most standard garden containers.
- Maintenance: To encourage continuous blooming, pinch off dead flowers throughout the season. This prevents the plant from setting seed and redirects energy back into producing new buds.
- Feeding: Apply a liquid fertilizer once a month during the active growing periods in autumn and spring to maximize bloom density.
