Annual. (Technically a Perennial grown as an Annual. The Swiss Giant Pansy will over winter in climates as cold as USDA Zone 4.) Blooms spring to early summer and in fall, depending on when seed is sown. Large 3" flowers with a wide range of colors including blue, purple, yellow, apricot, orange, mahogany, red, white, & bi-colors. Most have faces or are blotched. Flowers are edible and make a colorful addition to salads. Try planting in early fall for winter and spring color even in cold climates! Plant in the early spring for spring and summer bloom. Spring flowers make a nice accent for your spring bulbs. Swiss Giant Blend is heat tolerant and likely to last longer than other pansy varieties that get leggy in summer and have to be cut back.

Outdoors: Cold climates: sow in early spring (2-4 weeks before last frost) or mid-summer for fall, early spring, and early summer bloom. (Plants will over winter in between bloom periods.) Warm climates: sow in late summer for fall, winter, and spring bloom.

Indoors: Sow 10-12 weeks before average last spring frost for spring planting or early summer for fall planting in both warm and cold climates.

SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: Even though easy to germinate, pansies do better with stratification, a process of subjecting seeds to moist/cold treatment to break the seeds dormancy. Indoors, sow seeds into moistened soil and place in the refrigerator or freezer for about 5 days. Seeds can then be germinated. Pansy seed also requires darkness to germinate. Make sure seeds are planted at recommended depth of 1/8".
