Agricultural technology.
Pansy is distinguished by abundant flowering and frost resistance. Prefers sunny places (but grows well in partial shade), loose, fertile soils.
Propagated by sowing seeds in June on breeding ridges. The seeds are lightly sprinkled with soil. At a soil temperature of +18°C, seedlings appear in 10-15 days. Seedlings dive in the phase of the 1st or 2nd pair of true leaves.
At the end of August - beginning of September, seedlings are planted in a permanent place, maintaining a distance of 15-20 cm between plants.

Life cycle: annual or biennial plant (depending on growing method).
Seeds: 650-800 pieces per 1 gram (remain viable for up to 3 years).
Features of the culture: viola grows well in sunny and partial shade areas and on fertile soils.
Soil: preferably moist, fertilized.
Sowing: when growing viola as an annual plant, seeds are sown in greenhouses in January for flowering in April. Sowing is carried out in boxes with loose and moist fertile soil of neutral reaction. The seeds are scattered in a thin layer over the surface, lightly sprinkled with a thin layer of earth on top, and then placed in a dark place.
Germination: at temperatures not higher than +15..+20°C and sufficient soil moisture, seeds germinate within 8-15 days (at temperatures above +25°C and insufficient moisture, seedlings do not appear).
Growing seedlings: as soon as the first cotyledons appear, the temperature is reduced to +10°C and the boxes are placed under illumination of at least 7000 lux.
10-20 days after sowing, they dive into 8-10 cm pots. For growing seedlings, a temperature of +12..+15°C is sufficient.
Care: plants tolerate transplantation well even in a flowering state. Flowering begins in April. With a lack of watering, the flowers become smaller.
Use: pansy is very effective for early spring decoration of any flower beds, borders, mixborders, balconies.
