  • Germination: Cover the seeds lightly with soil and maintain consistent moisture. Place trays in a warm location with indirect light until germination occurs.
  • Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or directly into well-prepared garden soil. Choose a location with good sunlight exposure.
  • Outdoor Planting: If growing as an annual, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date. Space plants according to their mature size.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Viola Sorbet Series appreciates regular, moderate watering.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced, organic fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy foliage and abundant flowering.
  • Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming. Prune for shape and to prevent legginess.
