How to Plant Winter Hardy Pansy Seeds

    Preparation

    • 1). Decide whether you'll plant seedlings or mature plants. Either is fine though seeds will need transferring from a seedling box after five leaves have appeared on your new plant.

    • 2). Prepare a flower bed in your garden spot. Winter-ready pansies are able to tolerate any type of light.

    • 3). Pull out any weeds and various other growth that may have sprung up inside your bed if it's already in place.

    • 4). Prepare your planting area by placing 2 inches of decomposed manure into the bed. Mix it with your soil.

    • 5). Add sand in order to produce a moister soil if yours is too dry.

    • 6). Put in a tiny amount of fertilizer. Use a good bulb variety for winter-hardy pansies.

    • 7). Place soil dust into your prepared dirt to protect your pansies from diseases and pests. Use a product such as diatomaceous earth. The dust will protect your plant from insects that tend to crawl around and in your soil.

    Planting

    • 1). Plant four to six weeks before your fist scheduled frost.

    • 2). Make sure your pansies are planted 7 to 12 inches apart in your prepared planting bed.

    • 3). Dig a hole 1/4 inch deep for seeds and for mature plants dig slightly deeper than the size of the pot they came in.

    • 4). Cover soil and add mulch around the base of your pansies for best winter protection. The benefit of using a protective layering is that your plants will stay warmer when temperatures drop.

    • 5). Add pine needles once the temperatures drop below 25 degrees F. for extra winter protection.
