    Just a quick question, when would you sow your Pansies for the Winter / Spring

    Looking at the packets, I would say July, but all of them seem to have a
    wide window for sowing.

      Never ever had any success growing pansies from seed . I buy a couple of plug packs in mid feb and plant a basket and a container.

        Thanks......will go for July as I have Wall Flowers & Nemesia to sow as well, the
        seeds were only 19p a packet in Aldi :)

        Never brought seeds from Aldi before, so it might be :dbgrtmb: later in the year.

          You've got a bargain there! Pansies are slow to put on growth to start with so it's best not to leave it to late to get them under way. :)
