Pansy Seeds (Open Pollinated)

About -

Add a burst of cheerful color to your garden with Richgrow Seeds Pansy Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Viola tricolor var. hortensis), ideal for home gardeners seeking vibrant, charming blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Garden Pansy or Viola, this variety produces large, velvety flowers, measuring 4–8 cm across, in shades of purple, blue, yellow, white, red, or bicolor, often with distinctive "face-like" markings, perfect for beds, borders, containers, or window boxes, blooming from 8–12 weeks after sowing through cooler seasons like spring or fall. These nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden ecosystems. The compact, mounding plants, growing 15–25 cm tall and 20–30 cm wide, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in cool climates, with optimal sowing in late summer to early fall (August–October) for winter/spring blooms or early spring (February–March) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Himachal Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.2–0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% coco peat, pH 5.5–6.5) under partial shade to full sun (4–6 hours daily), spacing 15–20 cm apart in rows 20–30 cm wide; press seeds lightly into soil and cover with a thin layer, as they need darkness to achieve 85% germination within 10–20 days at 15–20°C. Keep soil consistently moist with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 2–3 days), deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and fertilize with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or whiteflies. Trim straggly growth to maintain shape, with excellent durability for garden displays or as edible flowers in culinary garnishes. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
