I started some pansies about a month ago and it is about time to transplant to bigger pots. What I need to know do I plant them at the same depth they are at now or deeper like you would do tomatos? Thank You
Pansy
Can I add another question to this pansy section? I set out some blooming pansys last fall, about 3 days before it snowed and froze. They have been frozen and under snow for about 2 months now. Will they revive in the spring? Hopefully somebody will know the answer to both of our questions.
I work as a gardener (still learning tho!) and in a greenhouse, and I brought a bunch of pansies home from work last year and planted them. My boss told me that they DO come up if you leave them. They re-seed themselves. As far as planting them, I've also been told that you go a little deeper with everything, so I assume that means pansies too.
Don't plant the pansies as deep as you would tomatoes. You can pinch the center tops of the pansies to encourage a bushier plant.
I take my pansies out of the pots in the late summer when they are getting scraggly; cut them back and plant in the ground. Not every one survives the winter, but enough to make it worth while. I guess Mary E's pansies will depend on if they had good roots in the pots that weren't disturbed too much when transplanted.
Thanks Mamakane, these were in 4 inch pots, had good roots, didn't even look droopy the next day, so I think they have a good chance. These were some the discount store had and gave away, all you want, because they couldn't sell them. This is a result of somebody in a different climate (warmer)ordering for the chain store. Lucky me, I was in the right place at the right time.
