Growing Non-GMO Sorbet Series Viola Flower Seeds

Growing violas from seed can be somewhat challenging because seeds are small and difficult to handle. In addition, Viola seeds require a cold period, called stratification, to germinate. This means the seeds must be exposed to cool temperatures for a while before planting. However, it is possible to grow violas from seed easily with a little patience and attention to detail. They may also be sown in the late summer for autumn blooms in mild climates.

Sow Sorbet Series Viola seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the final frost. Violas are very delicate and are not recommended for direct sowing unless conditions are perfectly ideal. Maintain Viola seeds in complete darkness for germination at approximately 50 F. Then place them beneath fluorescent grow lights for 16 hours per day, with 8 hours of darkness. Harden-off seedlings before transplanting them outside into a shady and cool spot in the garden or an equivalent location indoors. Avoid overhead irrigations to minimize wetting foliage.

When transplanting seedlings indoors to outdoors, it is important to adjust them slowly to their new environment; Put them outside for a few hours a day and slowly increase the span of time until they are ready to transplant. It is important to deadhead the flowers regularly and provide the plants with adequate water and nutrients to promote healthy growth and numerous blooms.
