I LOVE violas and pansies in my late fall, winter, and early spring garden. This year, I am starting viola and pansy seeds in the summer, so they will be ready for my winter garden. Growing violas and pansies from seed is simple and inexpensive.

Learned a lot about violas and pansies and they are my go to flowers for the winter months. Right now, I'm just trying to deal with this hot, molten lava like heat wave we're experiencing in TX and am just focused on keeping our grass and trees alive. Most everything is fried but have taken note of the flowers that are still alive. The best survivors so far are the vinca, purslane, salvia, crown daises, zinnias and lantana. I'll be filling my flower beds with those next year as these crazy, hot summers seem to be the new summer for us in TX. Your gardens still look beautiful. Stay cool.

Yep it’s always a good practice to see what thrives in the worst weather.

@kathrynmettelka7216 10 месяцев назад

Violas and pansies bloom early and late here in SC zone 8a too. Fortunately we are not as hot as TX. Stay safe in the brutal heat!

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Yeah the heat is rough!

@cynthia3157 10 месяцев назад

I am definitely going to try this! I actually had some pansies that I grew from seed in March make it through last week. Watering in this heat is not fun. I like the idea of having them from Fall to next Spring better.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

I’m always amazed at how long they last.

@Bloominggood 10 месяцев назад

I love violas and pansies I always hate seeing them die back when it gets hot... but such beauty for a very nice long season. I haven't tried any by seeds..Would like to try some new varieties. Some of the ones I had last year actually self sowed and I had alot of them in different places which was such fun! Have a beautiful blessed day 🙏 ❤

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

I LOVE when they self sow! I need to become brave enough to dig them and move them around now once they self sow!

@Bloominggood 10 месяцев назад

@@shesamadgardener I just leave them where they are usually under and around my containers and it looks pretty lol... I did some how have a few that grew in the middle of my yard... I had some sunflowers in the middle of my yard tooo..and it looked so cute

@2BitRanch 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for inspiring me. The heat is brutal and I just wanna give up about this time of year. Nothing is beautiful. :-( Im in the Ca desert. I started a few trays and ordered the seed trays you recommend.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

You can do it!

@jeannet9592 10 месяцев назад

I listened to The Flower Podcast recently with Brenna Estrada who shared a lot of interesting information about pansies!

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Ooo, I’ll go check it out! Thank you!

@fromseedtobloommedia9340 10 месяцев назад

Whenever I’ve tried the black garbage bag or frapped with a towel method, my seedlings become stretched out, in search of light and look horrible, the only thing that seems to work is covering them with soil under my grownl light. I’m going to watch to see if you have success!

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

You have to move them to light as soon as they sprout or else they will stretch out.

@helenawang4660 10 месяцев назад

Those ones I planted 10 days ago have not germinated yet. I’ll move the ones I planted last weekend to a dark place to test out!

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Good luck! Mine have taken longer in the past so be patient and make sure they are moist.

@Winnyj73 10 месяцев назад

You inspired me to start some violas and pansies from seeds :) hopefully I’m not too late to get them out by mid November or so, still crazy hot here in zone 9b the Woodlands TX, was wondering if you’re using the clear plastic bins behind you in this video to store your seed packets, I’ve been looking for something to organize and store my seed packets and I really like how your containers look on your shelf :) do you mind to share where you got them from? Thank you so much in advance :)

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Yes, that’s what I use for storage! They are linked in my Amazon storefront in the video description however they come on sale at craft stores like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby all of the time.

@Winnyj73 10 месяцев назад

@@shesamadgardener thank you so much, I will look them up, my seed packs need organizing😊

@fromseedtobloommedia9340 10 месяцев назад

I prefer violas as well, they bloom through the coldest weather, far more blooms and fhe violas I started from seed are still blooming especially the black and yellow ones, the others are still blooming but struggling, I feel if they can hang on until fall they will be gorgeous. But, I’m starting more from seed now!

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

If they make it to fall, they are going to be STUNNING!

@SharkSandwich451 10 месяцев назад

I’m totally paying attention to how you germinate these. Can’t start mine now (6b). And mine did STALL big time and after all of the hubbub I don’t know if it was worth all my fussing. We’ll see.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

The stall is weird and confusing until I realized that’s just their nature.

@SP-tf9lo 10 месяцев назад

I do not use warming pads or lights. What do you think of porch shade? Maybe morning light outside.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Violas and Pansies don’t need heating pads to sprout. It really depends on how hot it is in your area right now. Room temp might be better than outside if you are in a hot area. Once they sprout, they will need LOTS of light … at least 12 hours a day.

@bowler8 9 дней назад

just watched a video stating they need light to germinate

@shesamadgardener 8 дней назад

Yes I’ve had mixed results … some with light and some without!

I have been sowing seeds in my garden and I do get blooms

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

That’s wonderful!

@lbenson2488 10 месяцев назад

I'm also in zone 8A -Alabama. Do you ever get Violas seeds that are perennial? I have noticed seeds that stated perennial . I would like to grow them along a wooded edge of my yard & allow them to naturalize. Should it work? I'm using a mixture of Johnny Jump ups and King Henry from Botanical Gardens.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

I haven’t run into any perennial ones but sometimes mine do reseed themselves.

@anniewildmush1284 10 месяцев назад

they do stall... however nothing to compare with bought pansies... mine are suppose to be mai to july... they last until october. partial shades in the summer... i move them over no problem :-) montreal canada

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

That’s awesome that you can move them over!

@gardingyrl3501 10 месяцев назад

I can't remember which you tuber I was watching and they said they were having a hard time finding bells of Ireland seeds, was that you?

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

It was me!

@donnajoy6951 10 месяцев назад

I started 50 seeds last night, and I did close the vent and did check them this morning. They’re still moist. The vent is closed. When do I open the vent when they have started sprouting and then put them in the light source. This is my first time starting things from seed, trying to save some money. Thanks in advance.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Definitely leave the vent closed until at least 50-60% of the seeds have sprouted, then remove the lid.

@shesamadgardener 10 месяцев назад

Yes once they sprout put them under lights … check to see if they have sprouted EVERY DAY so that the seedlings don’t get leggy without light!

@donnajoy6951 10 месяцев назад

My seedlings sprouted(I put on my front porch). I am gonna take a chance on this because this is the west facing front porch, and I did not want to buy grow lights, so I’m hoping that I get enough sunlight that they will sprout and then I will be able to plant them when you do in late September or by 15 October (fingers crossed)…
