Velvet petals steeped in shadow — Midnight Glow Pansy blazes with rich, near-black blooms edged and veined in flickers of gold. Each flower looks as if it was painted by candlelight, a perfect balance of darkness and fire. This striking variety turns ordinary beds, urns, and window boxes into something moody and theatrical.
Compact, cold-tolerant plants bloom steadily through cool seasons, bringing color when most of the garden sleeps. The deep tones hold beautifully in late-autumn light and return again with the first breath of spring.
When to Plant Pansy Seeds (by USDA Zone)
Zones 3–4 (cold winters, short growing season)
Start indoors: Early to mid-June
Transplant outdoors: Late July to early August for fall bloom
Spring bloom: Start seeds indoors in late January to early February; transplant in April
Pansies are best as spring bloomers here unless you can protect them over winter with mulch or low tunnels.
Zones 5–6
Fall bloom: Start seeds indoors in June–July; transplant outdoors in August
Spring bloom: Start indoors in late January to mid-February; transplant outside in March–April
These zones can handle fall planting if seedlings are well established by the first frost.
Zone 7
Fall bloom: Start seeds indoors in late June to early July; plant outdoors in late August
Spring bloom: Sow indoors in January for early spring planting
You can plant pansies in fall for color through winter and early spring, especially with a mild winter.
Zone 8
Fall bloom: Start seeds in July; plant outside by mid-September
Spring bloom: Start in late December to early January indoors if needed
Fall-planted pansies will often bloom through winter into early spring.
Zone 9
Best as fall/winter annuals
Start indoors: August
Transplant outdoors: Mid-September to October
Avoid summer planting — it’s too hot. These are great winter bloomers in mild climates.
Zone 10–11 (hot climates)
Fall/winter only
Start seeds indoors in August–September
Transplant outdoors in October–November
Plant only when temperatures begin cooling down — pansies will bloom through winter and early spring but won’t survive summer heat.
Short-lived perennial/biennial/annual based on growing zone (varies, zones 3-11) 8 inches tall and wide
Grows 8-10 inches tall and also does well in containers.
This is for approx 20 seeds
