Why are my pansies not growing well in raised beds?


Our Advice:

Pansies can grow well in raised beds, but they do have some specific requirements. If your pansies are not growing well in raised beds, it may be due to poor soil quality or insufficient watering. Make sure to use a well-draining soil mix and provide adequate moisture, as raised beds can dry out quickly. Consider adding compost or other organic matter to the soil to improve its quality.
