Pansy Nature Antique Shades Seedling Pack

Viola wittrockiana

Pansy Nature Antique Shades seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.Gorgeous in pots, these beauties will flower all winter long and brighten up the quiet winter garden. 

We've been trialling as many varieites of Pansies and Violas in the perfect shades for cutting as we can get our hands on. Nature Antique Shades was one of the first we trialled, and we've found it has similar beautiful colouring the Imperial Antique shades, but in a much more delicate size. Firmly on the must grow list for us now! 

While not your typical cut flower, we've found you can achieve pickable stem length when you grow in part shade, or under taller growing plants, and plant nice and close together - 10-15cm. Pop them in under your sweet peas or between your roses! Pansies are cold hardy, and the stems will lengthen as the season goes on if you keep harvesting.

Spacing: 10-20cm 

Harvest: When the flowers start to open

Vase life: 5-7 days

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
