A low, compact biennial, it has one of the most “classic” pansy colors – one that immediately brings spring to mind. It blooms from early spring to autumn, with the heaviest flush of flowers in April and May.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e dark purple with a black blotch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e from early spring to autumn (most abundantly from April to June)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunny or lightly shaded\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e June – August (in a seedbed)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlanting out:\u003c\/strong\u003e in autumn or early spring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy – a variety for beginners\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNumber of seeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 350 seeds (0.50 g)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety stand out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergwacht belongs to the Swiss Giants group – Swiss pansies valued for their huge, flat flowers and strong, intense colors. This variety’s purple is dark and warm, with an almost black blotch that shimmers like velvet in the sunlight. The flowers reach 6–7 cm in diameter and are held above the leaves on sturdy stems, making them easy to see from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety is hardy: it tolerates frost, and seedlings from summer sowing, planted out in autumn, overwinter in the ground and start flowering as soon as the snow melts. It performs just as well on balconies and in pots as it does in flower beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (June – August, under cover or in a seedbed):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the seeds in trays or plug trays filled with a light, well-drained growing medium, covering them with a thin layer of soil – pansies germinate in darkness. The optimum temperature is 15–20°C; above 22°C, germination is poor. Seedlings emerge after 2–3 weeks. Sowing in February–March under cover is also possible for flowering in the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings produce 2–3 true leaves, prick them out into 6–8 cm pots or a nursery bed at approximately 10 × 10 cm spacing. Young pansies like cool conditions and light – do not keep them in a stuffy tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (September – October or March – April):\u003c\/strong\u003e plant them in their permanent position at 20 × 25 cm spacing, in fertile, humus-rich, consistently slightly moist soil. Plants planted in autumn will have time to root before winter and will flower earliest; in regions with harsh winters, it is worth covering them with conifer branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e water regularly (pansies do not tolerate drying out), feed in spring with a compound fertilizer every 2–3 weeks, and remove faded flowers regularly – this is the simplest way to extend flowering. Flowering weakens during hot summer weather and returns when temperatures cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergwacht is a pansy for \u003cstrong\u003espring flower beds\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewindow boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e and containers by the entrance, for \u003cstrong\u003eflower-bed edging\u003c\/strong\u003e, and as a filler around tulips or daffodils.
