Spring and summer flowering selection.
Pansy Premier have been proven to give outstanding performance for maximum satisfaction in both beds and borders and patio containers. Easy to grow. This series retains pansies’ wonderful cold tolerance, but when the weather is hot and older varieties of pansies become floppy with few blooms, Premier Pansies will tend to remain well branched, squat and floriferous. As well, the petioles (stems that hold the flowers) don’t become overly stretched, so the flowers remain upright and beautifully displayed. These pansies are beautiful and tough, requiring virtually no maintenance other than regular watering and a bit of fertiliser and should continue to look great all year. The colour range is fantastic too.

The most economical way to purchase your plants. Securely rooted, strong plants in mini-plugs of compost. Will need to be transplanted and grown on before planting out ready to flower. Tender varieties will need protecting from frost. Compost volume around 2.6cm deep x 1.8cm square. Foliage height 1.5cm-5cm (depending on variety). Full growing instructions are provided.
Using a good quality multi-purpose compost, pot up your plugs into 10cm pots or 6 cell trays. Once your plug plants have been potted on and labelled, water them in well and grow on for around 5-6 weeks. Water once the compost starts to dry out.
If preferred you can pot on the plugs into hanging baskets, flower bags or pots. Add a slow release plant food like Miracle-Gro Slow Release All Purpose Plant Food to your compost which will give extra nutrients for strong and healthy plant growth.
Keep plants frost free until mid/late May and then harden off before being placed in their final positions when the risk of frost has passed in your area.
Brookside Nursery Advice to help you get the most from your pansy plants.
One of our best loved annual summer plants in the UK, pansies prove their worth to the gardener time and again and with improved varieties such as Pansy Premier Mixed, their reliability is second to none.
Once ready to plant out, space up to 6" (15cm) apart to give them room to fully grow and not be overcrowded. Plant into fertile soil that is free draining. Add some peat free compost or home-made compost to the planting hole and water in well initially.
Water pansies in the morning or the evening allowing the soil to dry slightly in between watering and give them a weekly liquid feed or a weak solution of tomato feed throughout the growing season.
Dead head faded flowers of pansies, this will stop the production of seeds and promote more blooms. The stems and heads to remove are those with closing petals or green rounded pods beginning to fill with seeds.
Do not allow pansies to dry out, as a combination of dry conditions and poor airflow can result in a mildew problem. If aphids appear use a weak solution of soapy water and spray the affected area or use your thumb and finger to rub them off the leaves.
***For packs of 20/40 plug plants gently remove the small plugs from the tray by pushing up from the bottom using a pencil.
