A complete garden needs this mix of pansy velvet. The swiss giant pansy grows 3 inches and has a velvety mix of flowers. It grows in zones 5 - 9 and can be indoor or outdoor. It is one of the biggest pansy flowers available. Pansy plants perform well in garden, patio tubs, and cut flower bouquets, and they'll flower the first year. Plant 3 - 4 seeds per plant indoors 6 - 8 weeks before planting outside. Shade the pots or trays for germination. Keep the seeds moist. When the seedlings emerge, move them to a bright, cool area and continue to keep them moist. Harden off the plants before planting. Use balanced fertilizer. For fall blooms, set out plants 3 - 4 weeks before first frost. For spring blooms, set out plants up to a month before the last frost.
