Pansy - Alpenglow - Viola × wittrockiana - Bold character and stylish colour - Fresh Seeds

Pansy Alpenglow (Viola × wittrockiana) is a bold, eye-catching variety with large, velvety flowers in deep red, finished with a clear black blotch at the centre. This biennial plant has a compact, balanced habit and grows to around 15 to 20 cm tall. It is ideal for flower beds, pots, balcony planters, and rock gardens, adding a cheerful splash of colour wherever it is planted. With a long flowering season from spring through to late autumn, it keeps displays vibrant for months.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds shallowly, to a depth of about 0.3 to 0.5 cm. This gives them the right access to light and moisture for quick, even germination.

Sowing time outdoors

The best time to sow directly outdoors is from June to August. This allows young plants to root well, develop strongly, and prepare for abundant flowering in the following season.

Sowing time under cover

Sow under cover in the same period from June to August. This helps you raise strong, healthy seedlings that establish quickly after transplanting and can begin flowering earlier.

Planting out

Plant out Alpenglow pansies in June or September. The timing depends on when you want flowers, with plants set out in early summer flowering in autumn, and those planted in autumn flowering in spring the next year.

Spacing

Space plants at 20 x 25 cm. This gives them room to form full clumps, allowing the flowers to show at their best without crowding.

Flowering period

Alpenglow flowers reliably from June to October. The red petals with their dark centre keep their strong colour even in changeable weather, making this a dependable choice for long-lasting summer and autumn colour.

Growing

This variety is easy to grow. It performs best in fertile, free-draining soil that stays moderately moist, in sun or light shade. It tolerates cooler conditions and copes well with brief rain, keeping a fresh look and lively colour for a long time. Regular watering and removing faded blooms help extend flowering and encourage new buds.
