Kiepenkerl Horned Pansy "Twix Coconut Swirl"

Sow in beds or trays, cover about 5 mm with soil, press down and water. Until the shoots come up, keep evenly moist and shaded, for example with fleece, shade cloth or damp jute bags. Planters can be used in the house or in the shade of trees and walls. After about 4 weeks transplant into beds or pots and plant outside in autumn. Plant on well-drained soil without waterlogging or in vessels with sufficient water drainage. In flowerbeds, protect from rabbits, and cover during frosts with spruce twigs and use complementary fertilization in early spring. Cover vessels over longer periods of frost in a sheltered, shaded place. If plants are protected by the roof, water regularly, even in winter. Small plants can overwinter in pots in bright, well ventilated small greenhouses or cold frames and can be set out again in the spring.
