Hi, pansy seed is best sown in a seed tray in a cold frame, they don't need any heat, sow winter pansies in summer, in late winter for early spring and summer flowering, Derek.

OK thankyou when do you sow primula seeds can you grow them in a coldframe

Hi, yes you can grow them in a cold frame, sow the seed of half hardy and frost tender species on the surface of a seed tray in early spring, hardy species can be sown in seed trays in an open cold frame as soon as they're ripe, or in late winter or early spring, Derek.

So you can't sow them now

Hi, if they're a hardy species you can sow as soon as the seeds are ripe, you don't have to wait for late winter or early spring, Derek.
