Highlights
The 2-3 inch bicolored blooms are delicate yet vibrant, arriving in just 91-98 days from seed. Their compact mounding habit keeps plants tidy at 4-5 inches tall, so you get generous flowering without the floppy growth that makes other pansies look disheveled by summer. These are genuinely easy to grow, thriving in both sun and partial shade, which gives you real flexibility in garden placement.
Common Uses
Delta Premium Series Pansies are grown primarily for ornamental display, prized for adding continuous color to container gardens, window boxes, hanging baskets, and patio arrangements. Their compact size and prolific flowering habit make them especially suited to small-space gardening and mixed container plantings where you want reliable, long-lasting blooms without plants overtaking their neighbors.

Care Instructions
Start Indoors
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost, sowing onto moist seed-starting mix and keeping seedlings in bright light at 65-70°F. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy, and expect germination within 10-14 days.
Transplant Outdoors
Harden off seedlings over 7-10 days before transplanting outdoors after your last frost date. Space plants 12 inches apart and ensure soil is worked with compost or aged manure before planting. Row spacing of 6 inches is typical for commercial or dense garden setups.
Pruning
Pinch back the growing tips of young seedlings once they develop 2-3 sets of true leaves to encourage branching and a fuller mounding habit. Deadhead spent flowers regularly throughout the season to redirect energy into continuous bloom production rather than seed formation.
