INTRODUCING PANSY SEEDS

Pansies are popular plants in the viola family. These stunning flowers are also edible and can be used as dessert decorations or in salads. Pansies are grown successfully in cooler climates, where they can be perennial. In hotter areas, they are grown annually as they do not tolerate extreme heat. Pansy flowers bloom profusely during spring and fall and even through winter in some milder climates.

HOW TO GROW PANSIES FROM SEED

Start pansy flower seeds indoors, in a dark place, 8-10 weeks before the last frost and lightly cover with soil. Germination will occur within 2 to 3 weeks. Keep the soil moist but don’t over-saturate with water. Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 6 to 8 inches apart in a sunny area. Pansy seeds may benefit from cold stratification, which can help with germination and provide stronger plants.

MAINTAINING PANSY PLANTS

Pansies enjoy regular watering, especially during drought. It’s best to keep the soil constantly moist and to cover the soil with mulch. Deadhead dry blooms to encourage more flowering. Pansies can suffer in the heat, but they flourish again in cooler weather. Fertile soil will ensure their vigorous growth and blooming.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
