Pansy 'Crown Golden'

Keep in mind when planting that Crown Golden is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

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.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 8.97 inches (23.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.0 inches (0.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

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