DeluXXe Orange Pansy Seeds

Extra-large flowers and plants that spread out extremely fast
Days to Maturity: 66

Orange, an F1 hybrid pansy, is a large-flowered evergreen perennial, usually grown as a cool weather annual or biennial, offering early spring and late summer/early fall interest, blooming all winter in mild climates. Uniform and long blooming, the plants produce extra-large bright-orange flowers for 4 to 6 months. Borne singly on short, upright stems, the fragrant flowers make adorable kitchen table bouquets or cheeky additions to floral displays. And butterflies flock to them.

Delicate looking but tough and highly adaptable, these hardy herbaceous plants have a tidy, rounded, mounding habit of medium to dark green leaves. For best effect, mass plant or group. The plants are perfect for containers and hanging baskets but also work well in beds and borders.

Orange pansies grow best in locations with full sun to dappled shade and loose, rich, humusy, organic soil, but they will grow in almost any moist, well-draining soil. Deadheading spent flowers promotes new blooms and prolongs bloom time. The plants are disease and pest resistant.

In the North, sow pansy seed indoors in cool, bright conditions about 6 to 8 weeks prior to setting out. Water sparingly until plugs are fully rooted. The plants thrive in cool weather and tolerate light frost and cold night temperatures. Acclimatize them outdoors 7 to 10 days prior to transplanting. In the South, plants can be grown for fall and winter flowering. Sow seed indoors in midsummer, 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting into the garden after the cooler weather arrives.

If you plan to start your seeds indoors, be sure to check out our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit. With the Bio Dome, you can control the temperature, light, and soil mix to ensure your seeds become strong for transplant.
