    Customer photo review of Pansy Seeds - Pastel Mix

    These germinated quickly. And I’m a novice. They bulked up. I put them outside about April. Zone 9 here. They kind of just sat for a few weeks. Like frozen in time. Just when I was about to give up on them they came alive and have bloomed their heads off for a month now. Look at these sweet faces.

    Customer photo review of Pansy Seeds - Pastel Mix

    Grew these from seed and when I seen the first blooms, I planted them out. I’m zone 9 so the temps were mild mid April. Took probably 3 weeks of them sitting doing nothing and I was about to pull them. But then they took off and went for it. They’re pretty cute. Glad I waited. Good germination.

    It was my first time growing pansies and they were so cute! A lot of different color variations popped up; they ended up being my favorite flower of the season

    Customer photo review of Pansy Seeds - Pastel Mix

    This is such a lovely mix! They grew extremely well and quickly and I now have a lush sea of pastel blooms. I will definitely be buying these again for border gardens I thought I had better pictures and a section that wasn’t mixed with another variety but you’ll have to trust me!

    This mix is definitely my favorite. The blooms are large and have long stems for cutting. Just like the pictures and easy to grow.

    Customer photo review of Pansy Seeds - Pastel Mix

    I’m a fan of pastels so I ordered these pansies as I’d never grown them before. I sowed them without any decisive spacing. Just a sprinkle of seed in a pot. They germinated great and grew fairly quickly. Each color flower that decided to bloom was a surprise due to the mix. What was even more of a surprise is the small Johnny Jump Ups that grew as well along side the pastel mix. While i’m happy with what grew you may not find the flowers to be “pastel enough” as shown in the stock images. Decide for yourself if the blooms in my photo are what you seek. I personally still love them.

    But haven’t grown very quickly at all. Perhaps it needs to be cooler…

    Store owner replied: Hello Stacy W. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as feedback like this helps us improve our products and planting instructions. Pansies are cool-season flowers that prefer mild temperatures. In hot, humid weather, especially when nights stay warm, pansies often fail to germinate well or quickly become stressed, leading to weak growth and few blooms.They usually will bounce back as temperatures cool. Once daytime highs and nighttime lows drop into their preferred range, the plants will usually start to grow more vigorously and produce more blooms. With some steady watering and a little fertilizer, they should perk up nicely and continue flowering well into fall and even through much of the winter in your zone. From our follow-up with Customer Service, it looks like we were able to assist you. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us!

    Easy to grow, and they are fabulous. I’ve ordered pansy seeds the last two years; plan to do so again next year, but plan to add more of them to my garden.

    Very minimal germination rate. I have no idea what is up with all my orders thus far. Eden brothers was a favorite before but I’m seriously rethinking and I’m very concerned about my current fall order
