Pansy is one of the most beautiful that tolerate low temperatures and even light frost. Therefore, if you want flowers in your garden or on the balcony as soon as possible, reach for proven varieties, thanks to which you will feel spring.
When to plant pansies? Variations resistant to frost
If we want to enjoy the brotherly in early spring, we can reach for ready -made seedlings from garden stores and put them in the garden or balcony box at the end of February. Of course, provided that the weather allows. Mróz -resistant varieties are doing well at a temperature that does not exceed – 5 degrees C. However, it is better to wait a little and plant pansies when only light frosts occur at night. It will be safer to do it in March. Varieties that are worth reaching for are: the queen of heaven with light blue color, lemons or Śnieżka. Multi -flower pansies with frost -resistant Viola Wittrocki variety are also beautiful. There are a lot of color variants and shapes to choose from. One of the reasons why pansies quickly wilt is the lack of hardening of seedlings. If we buy them in early spring, they are usually stored in insulated halls. Therefore, they are not used to low temperatures that prevail in spring. Experts advise to harden plants before we put them in the ground. For two or three days, before you exaggerate pansies to larger pots or to the garden, put flowers outside, several minutes several times a day. Make sure that the place is shielded from the wind. Only after this time, exaggerate the seedlings in the ground or to larger pots and set it in the destination. In order for pansies you have to remember for a long time about proper watering and the place where we set the pots. The flowers grow better when the ground is slightly moist, but not wet. That is why it is important to constantly, evenly watering the brotherly. It’s best to do it every morning or evening, never during the day. If we forget about it and the earth is drying, it will be difficult to save the plant. Pansy are sensitive to diseases, so be careful not to water the leaves and flowers. It is also important also where we plant plants. We will enjoy flowers for the longest if we set the pots on the eastern or western balcony. The slightly shaded position will be perfect.
