BECKERT'S SUPERB PANSIEShhp 



Best results are obtained by sowing the seed in July or August and carrying the young plants over the winter in 

 cold-frames or in a sheltered spot in the garden, protected by a deep covering of straw or leaves. These plants will bear 

 flowers early the next spring and continue throughout the season. The seed may also be sown in late April and the plants 

 from this sowing will commence to bloom in late June. Pull- blown flowers should be removed every few days to prevent 

 their going to seed. Do not spare the hose during hot spells.
