Growing Tips: Trumpets Mix pansies offer vibrant, trumpet-like blooms in a rainbow of shades, ideal for spring and fall displays. They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Protect from heat with afternoon shade. Regular deadheading extends the bloom period, and mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Excellent for beds, borders, and container gardens.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before your last expected frost date or direct sow outdoors in late summer for autumn blooms in milder climates. Harden off seedlings before planting outdoors. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow Trumpets Mix seeds 1/8 inch deep in moist, sterile seed-starting mix. Maintain a soil temperature of 60–65°F and keep evenly moist. Transplant seedlings outdoors after danger of hard frost has passed.

How to Grow

Provide 6 hours of sun daily with some afternoon shade in hotter regions. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid feed. Deadhead spent blooms frequently to encourage continuous flowering and keep the plant looking tidy throughout the season.

How to Save Seeds

  • Allow a few flowers to mature fully and develop seed pods
  • Wait until pods dry and begin to split, then collect
  • Remove seeds and let them air-dry thoroughly
  • Store in a cool, dry, dark location in a labeled paper envelope
  • Use fresh seeds within one to two years for best viability
