How-To Gardening Guide: Planting Pansies
To the new gardener, planting pansies now may seem like a futile effort considering that the first frosts of fall are looming on the horizon. Despite their name, pansies are a hardy plant that can thrive in seemingly sub-arctic temperatures. By following these basic steps, your pansies can survive the winter and bloom again in the spring:
- Plant in foundation beds in protected areas facing east and north.
- In most cases pansies are hardy to -10oF.
- Fertilizer initially and water throughout the dry fall season, discontinue after a hard freeze.
- Pansies may appear dormant until the growing season (March through late May).
- Pansies are not recommended in areas without protection or in unprotected containers. Root balls tend to freeze in shallow setting. Mulching may help to insulate until the spring season.
- Continuous freezing and thawing of the root balls can actually force them up and out of their holes if not properly planted.

With Thanksgiving and Christmas approaching Bob's is busy getting ready for the upcoming holiday season. This particular time of the year is perfect for planting Hardy Mums and Pansies. Right now, however, we are growing this year's poinsettia crop for Christmas. The cuttings that were rooted in July have since been transplanted to larger pots, and this week they are being trimmed to promote branching.  |
