Flowering Jar Pansies

Create a beautiful container by using a jar with holes on the sides so that your pansies grow up and out.
Step 1: Start with a lightweight premium potting soil that contains a slow-release fertilizer.
Step 2: Add damp soil up to the first set of holes in the jar. Insert violas from cell packs.
Step 3: Add soil up to the next level of holes, and plant. Repeat until you've planted the whole jar. Water gently and enjoy!
