Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including YouTube) is to share ideas.

I'm about to grow pansies, after doing some looking round for germination instructions, yours was hands down the best developed, clearest and most helpful video out there right now.
Thanks!

I finally got pansies to germinate. I put them in jugs (winter sown method) but placed them in my dark garage and finally got germination. I’m in a warmer climate so no concern about a frost killing the seedlings. I’m so excited!

[dianebeckett]

I love pansies ! Thank you for this ideas with the bottles, to germinate it’s a great idea . Thank you. 🙂 Great Video.

Pansies were my great grandmother’s favorite flower. I grow them every year. Good video!

[carolschedler]

Helpful info. Thanks! The zone info is super helpful. 🌹🌼🥀

I love pansies! We plant them here in the fall and they are good for fall, winter and up to early spring if it doesn't get too hot too soon.

[rihannaun]

The pansies you grew look so pretty! Definitely going to try this!

[botanicaltreasures]

Gorgeous purple! Pansies are so much more than bedding plants to use as filler. Great bouquet!

[hobbygardener]

Amazing idea of using waste bottle
Thank you so much mam for sharing

[lorannharris]

Hello from Bar Harbor, Maine! Great video, I’m excited about black king pansy from Baker Creek this year.

[nicolegardens]

Love pansies! Not sure how long they'll make it this year but we've had a cool spring in CO so they are doing great.

I am on my third attempt trying to seed pansies inside. Tried peat pods with no result, now trying in soil blocks. Next year I will do the WS method. That might be best.

Lovely colors! 🌸🌺 great tips on germination!

I'm in 6B. Thinking I should start my seed indoors about early January. Does that sound right?

[darlamonholland]

I'm planning to start pansies from seed to plant this fall. I'm in Zone 6B. I didn't have any luck with germination last year, but I've been studying this year, hoping for better luck. I've read that the seeds need to be stratified, and I've yet to understand what this is. Neither of the You tube sites I've watched videos from mentions it. Is it necessary? If so, how do I do it?

[leah]

If you winter so, you don’t have to provide complete darkness?

[dewality]

Hi honey, loved this video your pansies are outta this world 😍! Quick question, I’m in Scotland and have just germinated black viola they’re currently in cells in a black grow bag but how much water do they need at this stage? I heard you only water once a week for the more established ones but what about when just starting out? I’ve put them in compost and vermiculite and gave them a spritz of water with a small amount of plant food, bad idea do you think?

hi i'm trying to grow some pansies for a school project but I don't know what soil to use. can I just buy some soil from home depot?

[heatherbright]

I love pansies and violas, I just have a hard time finding seed. Do you have any recommendations on where to get them.
