If you know me, you know I am always on the hunt for the super rare and exquisite! I just had to have and cultivate this one. The back petals are a delicate pink and then it is peach madness! Open Pandora's box and explore the waves of different shades of pink, peach and yellow, like a breathtaking sunset.
 
Plant in full sun to partial shade and enjoy weeks to months of showy color that holds up beautifully, even when weather turns unpredictably cold.
 
Pansies (Viola × wittrockiana) are perennials by nature. They can survive multiple seasons in mild climates where winters are not too harsh and summers are not too hot. 
 
🌱 to Plant Pansy Seeds (by USDA Zone)
Zones 3–4 (cold winters, short growing season)
Start indoors: Early to mid-June
Transplant outdoors: Late July to early August for fall bloom
Spring bloom: Start seeds indoors in late January to early February; transplant in April
 
Pansies are best as spring bloomers here unless you can protect them over winter with mulch or low tunnels.
 
Zones 5–6
Fall bloom: Start seeds indoors in June–July; transplant outdoors in August
Spring bloom: Start indoors in late January to mid-February; transplant outside in March–April
These zones can handle fall planting if seedlings are well established by the first frost.
 
Zone 7
Fall bloom: Start seeds indoors in late June to early July; plant outdoors in late August
Spring bloom: Sow indoors in January for early spring planting
You can plant pansies in fall for color through winter and early spring, especially with a mild winter.
 
Zone 8
Fall bloom: Start seeds in July; plant outside by mid-September
Spring bloom: Start in late December to early January indoors if needed
Fall-planted pansies will often bloom through winter into early spring.
 
Zone 9
Best as fall/winter annuals
Start indoors: August
Transplant outdoors: Mid-September to October
Avoid summer planting — it’s too hot. These are great winter bloomers in mild climates.
 
Zone 10–11 (hot climates)
Fall/winter only
Start seeds indoors in August–September
Transplant outdoors in October–November
 
Plant only when temperatures begin cooling down — pansies will bloom through winter and early spring but won’t survive summer heat.
 
Short-lived perennial/biennial/annual based on growing zone (varies, zones 3-11) 8 inches tall and wide
