How to Grow
You can start your Viola seeds indoors in the winter. Then sow seeds outdoors in early April for spring flowering and again in July for fall blooms. Cover the Viola seeds lightly, covering no more than the thickness of the seed. Keep moist until germination occurs. Red Viola plants grow best in rich, moist, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Use a slow-release fertilizer in the soil if planting Violas in a container.
