About
Delicate, charming, and full of color, violas bring joy to any garden with their cheerful faces and long blooming season. Perfect for containers, borders, or hanging baskets, these cool-weather flowers thrive in the Canadian climate and add instant brightness to spring and fall displays. Known for their sweet fragrance and wide range of shades, violas are also edible — making them a delightful garnish for salads and desserts. How do I grow Violas from seed? In order to grow Violas from seed, you need to start them indoors about 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in moist, well-draining soil and press lightly into the surface — violas need light to germinate. Keep the temperature cool, around 15–20°C (59–68°F), and mist regularly to maintain moisture. Once seedlings develop a few sets of leaves, harden them off and transplant outdoors in full or partial sun. Regular deadheading encourages more blooms, and mulching helps retain soil moisture during warmer months.
