VIOLET 'FRECKLES'
Viola sororis
SKU: 2018-010
Description
A unique freckled/spotted Viola! Violets are very hardy perennials producing masses of flowers in spring, and then another milder show of flowers in autumn. They are very versatile, and can be grown in sun or shade, and are tolerant of various soil types.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Height: 15cm, 6"
Location: Does well in sun or shade
Seeds per pack: 10
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants may be poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require a period of cold. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
