Annual Flower Seeds 
Pansy 
Pansies are ideal bedding plants and 
although they will produce larger flow¬ 
ers if planted in a cool, semi-shaded 
spot, they will also grow well in a sunny 
location. It is an established practice 
to set Pansy plants in solid beds in early 
Spring; when the hot sun decreases the 
size of the blooms, replace with Sum¬ 
mer-flowering annuals. Seed sown in 
late July or early August will produce 
the best flowering plants for the next 
season’s bloom. February or early 
March sowing will give blooming plants 
from Midsummer to Fall.
