Growing Tips for Your Pansy Black Prince Seeds:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost or direct sow outdoors in early spring or late summer/early fall in milder climates. Sow seeds with a thin cover of soil and maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for germination. Keep the soil consistently moist.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of hard frost has passed, spacing them appropriately. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade.

Pansies prefer cooler temperatures and well-drained soil. They typically reach a height of about 6 inches.
