Growing Info
Special Care: If grown under optimum conditions, and regular attention given to proper deadheading and pruning, pansies will last year after year. Pinch off faded flowers to the bottom of their stems to encourage more blooms and prevent reseeding. In all climates, when the weather warms up in summer, plants tend to get ragged, stretched out, and slow to bloom. Trim back the flower stalks to promote new foliage and encourage fall bloom.
