Germination
Spring sow for flowers the same year. Autumn sow for flowers the following year. Sow directly where they are to flower into prepared soil. Just cover seeds lightly with soil. Ideal temp. 15°C. Warmer weather can inhibit germination. Germination can be erratic. Germination will occur when the environmental conditions are right, usually in spring.
Growing
Prefers any soil in full or partial sun. Water well until established. Violas are cool weather plants, they thrive in full sun due to the light offered rather than the heat given. High temperatures can be offset with regular watering and a mulch. Requires little attention.
Cultivation
Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooms. Will self-seed. Deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings.
