Fertilizing Pansies or Violas

Apply a light application of fertilizer to established pansy and viola (Johnny Jump-up) plantings. Use one-half pound of ammonium sulfate per 100 square feet of bed area. Repeat the application every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on rainfall. Dried blood meal or cottonseed meal are also excellent sources of fertilizer for pansies and violas. Be sure to water well after applying fertilizers.
