Trailing Hardy Pansy ‘Fragrant Waterfall ‘

Planting Advice for your Pansy Cool Wave:

• Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
• If you can’t do this, they can sit in a mini greenhouse for a week if upright and not too wet.
• Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
• Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as on a windowsill or in a greenhouse.
• When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
• Alternatively, plant straight into baskets and grow on for a week or two before hanging up.
• Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.

Aftercare advice for Cool Wave Pansy:

• Regular maintenance and watering are essential to grow fabulous baskets that last the whole season.
• Check and water baskets every day in summer, (unless the compost is wet).
• Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers.
• From March to June, apply a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a week.

Pruning and Trimming advice for pansies:

• Deadhead and trim your plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage new flowers.
• Do not allow plants to set seed.
