🌸 Pansy Growing Conditions
Pansies are cheerful, cool-season flowers known for their bright colours and charming “faces.” They’re perfect for garden beds, borders, and containers.
Light: Full sun to partial shade. In hot areas, afternoon shade helps them last longer.
Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost. Prefers a pH of 6.0–7.0.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Regular watering is essential, especially in pots.
Temperature: Best in cool weather (10–21°C). Frost tolerant and bloom from autumn to spring.
Feeding: Use a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks for continuous blooms.
Care Tips: Deadhead spent flowers for longer flowering. Mulching helps keep roots cool and soil moist.
