Pansies are emerging as delightful additions to cut flower arrangements, offering unique charm and versatility. When cultivated for cutting, varieties like the Can Can Mix OP can produce stems ranging from 12 to 18 inches, suitable for vases. To achieve longer stems, plant pansies closely—spacing them about 3 inches apart—to encourage upward growth as they reach for light. Additionally, providing partial shade can further promote stem elongation. Regularly pinching early blooms redirects energy into stem development, resulting in more robust plants. Once established, these pansies not only enhance bouquets with their vibrant colors and ruffled petals but also offer a vase life of 5 to 7 days, making them a valuable addition to any floral arrangement. ​
