Eden Brothers Pansy Seeds

As temperatures fluctuate, the blooms on the Strawberry Swirl variety will change their intensity and hue. You can expect the colors to evolve as the season progresses, providing a dynamic look rather than a static color throughout the bloom period.

Yes, these pansies are edible. They make a beautiful, colorful garnish for salads, desserts, or cocktails, but ensure you grow them without the use of synthetic pesticides.

While no plant is completely immune to hungry wildlife, these pansies are generally avoided by deer. They are a reliable choice if you have had issues with deer browsing in your garden beds.

You can direct sow them in early fall or spring, but starting them indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost date can give you a head start. If direct sowing, ensure the soil is well-prepared and kept consistently moist until germination.

These pansies are bred for superior overwintering hardiness and can thrive in USDA zones 3 through 9. In colder climates, they may go dormant during the deepest freeze but will often bounce back quickly when temperatures moderate.

Because of their vigorous trailing habit, one or two plants are usually sufficient for a standard 10-to-12-inch hanging basket. They will spread and fill the container, creating a lush, cascading effect.
