Okay, here's the deal (I hope I am putting this in the right forum)

About 5 weeks ago we planted some pansy seeds in tiny little 1 inch starter pots. Most of them came up, but they have just sat there and done nothing in all that time. They each have a tiny stem and two leaves on them.

Any suggestions on what to do to help them grow??

At first until they came up we covered them with plastic and then gently got them used to having some sun on them. Now they are out in the sun most of the day and are doing nothing. We are not overwatering or underwatering. Just keeping them moist.

Help please...

So Weezie, are you saying I should just not worry about them and let them sit there over the winter?

There is only about a week that we get snow here so I can bring them in for that time I suppose.

I'm glad this happens to others too though. I just couldn't figure why they are just sitting there looking stupid.

Thanks Weezie....

Storm to be sincerely honest,
I didn't do a darn thing to them..
They sat in six pack containers...
I actually hoped for the best
and let them be..
*I do know where they were gets good
snow coverage...
And that's a plus in winter time protection...

What growing zone did you say you were again???

Believe it or not, I picked pansy's one winter,
one bouquet a month one year here,
it was such a mild winter...
Pansy's love the cold.. and don't like the heat...

If you only get snow one week of snow,
I might just leave'em...
How many do you have..???..
You know me, I experiment...
Try some out and don't do a thing to them..
some bring in to a cool garage, some leave
somewhere's else.. and see which gives you the best results with the least work...
but remember, each winter is different..
One maybe colder or more winter winds, or one maybe less snow but fridgid temps??
They may just completely go away with toooooooo cold of freezing/thawing temps???

Mother Natures' funny about that..

The first year we lived here, I planted pansies. She told me, if we got snow, they'd flatten down under the snow.. then in the spring, when it was all gone, they'd pop up. Sure enuough, that's what they did. And this year as well. That first year I had them, we had quite a winter, with a LOT of snow. I was shocked to see my pansies, and a LOT of them, when Spring arrived. My pansies have hung around this summer, despite the nasty heat, but they are about all done for now. A few blooms here & there, but mostly, already went to seed, scattered about, and dead foliage now. I hope the seeds come up next year!

I want pansies next year lord I love em but have never grown my own, I am thinking I should sow mine now for next year is that correct the package said in early spring, but from what I can find on the net looks like I might be best to plant the seeds now for next year. Any suggestions guys and gals?
