Growing Guide

Timing: Sow in early April for spring flowering; sow again in July for fall blooms.

Starting indoors: Sow in starter trays in winter for earliest spring planting. Cover seeds lightly — thinly, no more than the thickness of the seed — and keep moist until germination (14–21 days at 68°F). Seeds need light for germination.

Transplanting: Thin or space 8 inches apart. In mild-winter areas (zone 6+), start in summer and plant out in fall for winter and spring color.

Site & soil: Full sun to partial shade; well-drained soil, pH 5.8–6.8. Water consistently; violas prefer cool, moist conditions.
