Pansy 'Mariposa Yellow Blotch'

Keep in mind when planting that Mariposa Yellow Blotch 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 Mariposa Yellow Blotch about 90 days before your last frost date.

As Mariposa Yellow Blotch is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
