Gardeners Should Start Pansies And Violas In Shade
Beginners should sow pansies as biennials in late summer in well drained soil. Use a sand and top soil mix, cover lightly, keep moist in shade, and transplant when ready. In cold frames or near a house foundation, with sun to curb mildew, pansies bloom all summer. Violas follow similar care, differing mainly in size and markings, with yearly seedling flats encouraged.
