I have been searching for 20 years to see them in a cut flower bouquet! This is so amazing and I love all testing and research you’ve done because, yes they are very persevering in a cooler or early-frost climate. I know you are testing and teaching how to do these as well as selling seeds and tips but would you ever consider getting into selling them as a floral cut bouquet? If so, I’d be very interested in helping you do so, such a beautiful untapped market! I’d love to mix them with another unseen gem in a cut bouquet that could change a lot in that market, the small tiny bells of the lily of the valley…..:)

I had no idea you could get long stems in them. I know how to spread their seeds around my garden and grow them in winter here in Lake Stevens and keep them deadheaded. I dont call them annuals because of this. I prefer the purples and blues and the frilly edged ones, this will be fun to explore more

Do you think these will do well during those seasons or are they more tender ?

They are beautiful and so fun but this is my second year (zone 7b) using your seeds and still can’t get a stem length longer that 3 or 4 inches. Planted them close together in a protected area but not covered. Any ideas how to improve stem length?

Hi Kim,

We cover them with soil and that seems to be enough darkness for germination. Happy planting!

I ordered your Frizzle Sizzle Yellow Blue Swirl pansies this year and I am growing them from seed in my greenhouse in Teton Valley, ID. On your seed packet it says, “Seeds require darkness to germinate so lightly cover.” When you say “cover” do you mean with soil, fabric or what do you use? Do you grow them in seedling soil or good potting soil? As you can probably tell, I am starting seeds inside for the first time as I have purchased starts in the past…wish me luck! Kim

Hi Kim,
Yes, they start really well from seed. Definitely give it a try!

They always put a smile on face. Your flowers are beautiful. I have never grown pansies by seed. Are they easy to grow from seed? I live in Southern California. Also, wanted to tell you that I love your blog. I would love to visit your nursery one day.
