Mr Fothergills Viola Comedy Mixed F2 50 Seeds

Viola - Comedy Mixed F2

This mixture features jolly little flowers, almost year round in bright simple colours. It is ideal for beds and containers, and can be treated as a hardy biennial or a half-hardy annual.

Sow indoors, from February to March or September to October, 0.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place on a warm kitchen windowsill. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant to other trays, 5cm apart, when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into well-drained soil, from May to July, 15cm apart. Or, sow thinly, outdoors, from April to June, in a seed bed, 0.5cm deep, into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart, before planting out to flowering position, from September to October or February to March, spacing 15cm apart. Flowers from May to October. Outdoor sowings flower the following spring.
