Why Choose Delta Classic Pink Shades?
The Delta Series is famous for its uniform growth, early flowering, and large blooms. Within this series, the Pink Shades variety offers gardeners something extra special: a soft and romantic color palette that enhances any planting scheme.
-
Unique Color Range – From pale baby pinks to deeper rose tones, often accented by violet blotches.
-
Large, Showy Blooms – Flowers measure up to 3 inches across, making them stand out in both garden beds and containers.
-
Compact Growth – Plants stay tidy and resist becoming leggy, which is perfect for borders and pots.

Cool-Season Performance – Thrives in spring and fall when many other flowers struggle.
This variety is particularly striking when paired with white pansies, dusty miller, alyssum, or ornamental kale for a soft yet eye-catching effect.
How to Grow Pansy Delta Classic Pink Shades from Seed
Starting pansies from seed allows you to enjoy greater variety and healthier plants. Here’s how to get your Pink Shades off to the best start:
-
Sowing Indoors – Begin seeds 10–12 weeks before your desired planting date. For spring flowers, sow in late winter; for fall, sow in mid-summer.
-
Soil and Medium – Use a fine, well-draining seed mix. Pansies prefer consistent moisture but cannot tolerate soggy soil.
-
Light and Darkness – Pansy seeds require darkness to germinate. Cover them lightly with soil or vermiculite and keep trays in a dark place until sprouting.
-
Temperature – Maintain soil at 65–70°F. Germination typically takes 10–14 days.
-
Transplanting – Once seedlings have developed 2–3 true leaves, transplant into cell packs or small pots. Harden them off before planting outside.
