Autumn blossom

The pansies sown in early summer already bloom in October / November, and in mild weather throughout the winter. In order to enjoy the motley flowers of the pansies on the dull autumn days, the seeds should be sown in June at the latest. Of course, you can buy the blooming pansies everywhere in autumn.

Spring and summer blooms

For the spring bloom, the seeds are sown outdoors in August / September or the young plants are preferred in a cool room in the winter months. From April to June the pansies bloom tirelessly. The cheerful, colorful flowers can be with us until August if you consistently remove what has withered and thus stimulate further branching and flower formation.
