Why Planting Time Matters
Pansies thrive in cool weather. They grow best when daytime temperatures stay between 45°F and 70°F. Starting seeds too late can result in smaller plants, while starting them too early may cause seedlings to become overgrown before outdoor conditions are ideal.
By following the correct planting schedule for your USDA growing zone, you'll enjoy:
- Earlier blooms
- Stronger plants
- Longer flowering seasons
- Better cold tolerance
- Healthier root systems
Start Seeds by Your Growing Zone
Every climate is different, which is why USDA Hardiness Zones are so important when planning your seed-starting schedule.
