Growing Pansies From Seeds For A Winter Basket

Question

Hello 🙂 I want to grown my own pansies from seeds, to put in a hanging basket in October. Can you please advise when I should start the pansy seeds and the best method to grow them? I don’t own a propagation / grow light, do I need one? I’m very new to gardening so all advice is welcome! Thanks

Answer 1

Since Ireland has a mild climate, you should be able to grow your seeds outside in the hanging basket, starting about August.
