Pansies overwinter out of doors when they are not planted in standing water which causes them to rot. A slightly raised bed will insure good drainage and prevent water from puddling.

Pansy plants should be spaced eight inches apart. Pansies will continue to grow through the fall months and establish strong root systems. If the autumn weather is warm, pansies will begin blooming. In late fall, the plants should be mulched lightly to protect them from freeze damage and from being heaved from the soil by ice crystals. Pine needles, wheat straw and shredded leaves are good mulching materials.

In the spring, pansies can be dug with a ball of soil and transplanted into new locations. They should be transplanted before new flushes of growth begin. Pansies need sidedressing with a balanced fertilizer such as 5-10-10 in early spring. Two to three pounds of fertilizer per 100 square feet of soil surface is adequate. A slightly acid soil is recommended.

Pests can be bothersome to pansies. Slugs, aphids, spider mites and larvae of gypsy moths feed upon pansies. Slugs can be controlled with metaaldehyde, the active ingredient in Slugit and Slug bait. Aphids and mites can be controlled with Safer's insec-ticidal soap. Pansies do not have to be deadheaded; however, they bloom longer when seed pods are routinely picked off.

Plants that are cut back form new flowering branches, thereby lengthening the flowering season. If one is growing open-pollinating varieties, seeds can be collected and saved for sowing later. Seeds should be dried and stored in a cool, dry location. Pansies are excellent plants for adding color to fall and spring gardens. Their blooms are useful in salads and for garnishing many types of foods.

The bridegroom -elect is the son An old-time favorite, pansies now come in new varieties that offer more colors and a longer blooming season than ever before. Blossoms are bigger, bolder and tougher, and today's plants shrug off heat and cold, making them adaptable for growing in most locations.

In the mid 1960s, Majestic Giant pansies were hybridized and introduced by a California seed producer. Blooms of Majestic Giants are up to four inches in diameter and are long lasting. Today, Majestic Giants are still very popular. In the mid 1970s, a Japanese firm introduced Imperial pansies which are heat tolerant. Soon thereafter breeders introduced the Universal series which adapt well to cold and hot climates.

Another breakthrough for pansies came in 1983 when Sakata Seed producer introduced the Crystal Bowl and Crown series which have no faces. Previous introductions had a face in the center of the bloom. Faceless blooms made an immediate sensation. Faceless varieties are available in orange, white, yellow, blue and red colors. Most pansies are started in greenhouses and then grown out of doors as annuals.

Growers sow seeds up to three months prior to selling so that they are in bloom at time of sale. The home grower can easily grow his own plants. For autumn planting into beds and borders, seeds should be sown eight to 10 weeks before frost. For Greenwood, S.C. this is August 1-15.

Pansy seeds can be sown out of doors. It only takes a couple of feet of gardening space to start hundreds of seedlings. Soil should be loose and well drained in an area that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Seeds germinate best when soil temperatures are between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Seeds should be covered lightly with soil and should be kept moist.

It takes about two weeks for pansy seeds to germinate. In another two weeks, seedlings are usually inch high and are ready Weddings.
