Keep in mind when planting that Padparadja is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures.
Sow at a depth of approx.
0.0 inches (0.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least
8.97 inches (23.0 cm) between Pansy plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than
18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.
By our calculations, you should look at sowing Padparadja about 90 days before your last frost date.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Padparadja is a half hardy plant.
