Growing Requirements
Soil Conditions
Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. Performs best in moist but not waterlogged conditions. Add compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil structure if needed.
Light Requirements
Prefers partial shade to full sun. In warmer regions, morning sun with afternoon shade helps prevent flower fading and extends blooming periods.
Spacing and Planting
Plant 15-20cm apart to allow for mature spread. Dig holes slightly larger than the root ball and plant at the same depth as in the original pot. Water thoroughly after planting.
Care Instructions
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water at soil level to avoid wetting foliage, which can lead to fungal issues. During dry spells, water 2-3 times weekly.
Feeding
Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Alternatively, incorporate slow-release granules at planting time for season-long nutrition.
Deadheading
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. Pinch or cut just above the first set of leaves below the flower.
Winter Care
These pansies are hardy in most UK climates. In extremely harsh conditions, provide fleece protection or move containers to sheltered locations.
Planting Suggestions
Container Gardening
Combine with purple or white pansies for striking colour contrasts. Partner with trailing ivy or small evergreen shrubs for winter structure.
Border Planting
Use as edging plants along pathways or front borders. Complement with spring bulbs like daffodils or crocuses for seasonal succession.
Companion Plants
Pairs beautifully with primulas, polyanthus, cyclamen, winter-flowering heathers, and ornamental cabbages for seasonal displays.
