Pansy 'Delta Fire'

Keep in mind when planting that Delta Fire is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips.

Germinate on serface of a damp seed sowing mix. Apply a fine sprinkling of vermiculite, just covering the seed. Place in propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag till after germination – 10-15 days. If seeds do not germinate in 10-21 days, place container in fridge for 2 weeks, then return to indoors. After germination, transplant when large enough to handle into 3" pots. Acclimatise to outdoors 10-15 days before planting 9" apart.

Look to ensure a distance 8.97 inches (23.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.0 inches (0.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Delta Fire about 90 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Delta Fire is a half hardy plant.
