Viola Seeds - Sorbet Series

Growing Sorbet Series Viola Garden Seeds

For optimal blooms, sow Sorbet Series viola seeds indoors using a seed starting kit 8 " 12 weeks before your region's final frost. Sorbet Series seeds may also be sown late summer for autumn blooming since Sorbet Series violas can endure a chill. Provide plenty of sunlight from a window or, ideally, grow 3 " 4" beneath fluorescent grow lights for 16 hours per day with 8 hours of darkness. Do not use incandescent bulbs and do not leave lights on for any 24-hour period. Harden-off young Sorbet Series viola seedlings before transplanting outside into partial shade with well-drained, Organic-rich matter worked into the soil. Plant Sorbet Series viola seeds 1/8" deep and 8 - 10" apart and add fertilizer as your violas near maturity. Monitor regularly for pests, but Sorbet Series viola seeds are not known to be susceptible to regular pests or diseases as they can endure chills that many pests can not. Sorbet Series viola seeds mature in 91 - 98 days as 6 " 8" tall compact mounds with a 6 " 8" spread of sparkling blooms of your choice from their unique signature colors.

Violas are not too different from pansies, and the term viola or violet is generally used for those varieties with a smaller plant a bloom size.
