Are you looking to add a splash of color to your baskets and containers? Look no further than the Cool Wave pansy. These vibrant and versatile flowers are a popular choice among gardeners for their ability to thrive in various conditions.
Cool wave pansies are known for their cascading growth habit, which makes them perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers.
Temperature
Cool wave pansies thrive in cooler temperatures, ideally between 45°F and 65°F (7°C and 18°C). They can tolerate light frost, but it's best to protect them during severe cold spells. Planting them in early spring or late summer will provide the optimal temperature conditions for their growth.
Light
These flowers require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive. Place them in an area of your garden that receives ample sunlight.
Soil
Cool wave pansies prefer well-draining soil. Use a good quality hanging basket soil for best results.
Watering
Proper watering is crucial for the success of your cool wave pansies. These flowers prefer moist soil, but not overly saturated. The soil can dry slightly between waterings but do not let the pansies wilt. Avoid overhead watering, as it can lead to fungal diseases.
Fertilization
To promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms, it's recommended to fertilize your cool wave pansies every 2-3 weeks. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer with a ratio of 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for proper application. Alternatively, mix 3-4 month slow release fertilizer into the soil mix when planting.
