Pansy 'Swiss Giants Mix'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Swiss Giants Mix is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing 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 Swiss Giants Mix about 90 days before your last frost date.

As Swiss Giants Mix is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
