50 Viola Brush Strokes seeds

This listing is for a package of 50 Viola Brush Strokes seeds. Aka pansy. Aka Johnny Jump-up.

Hardy Annual. Sun to partial shade. Prefers cooler temperatures. Plants readily re-seed to produce next years plants/blooms (zone dependent)

Blooms look like cheerful little faces in shades of gold, apricot, peach, plum, lavender, purple and cream. Vigorous plants all have very unique variations in color and pattern. This variety is not the typical tight mounds and can be used as cut flowers if grown closely. This will help blooms reach upward and produce longer sturdier stems around 12"-16". Bloom size is approximately 1 1/2" - 2 1/2". Blossoms are edible with a hint of wintergreen flavor and have a sweet fragrance. Can be used to garnish, in salads or used in desserts.

To transplant sow seed 8-10 weeks before your regions last frost date. Cover seeds and water from bottom to avoid displacing the small seed.

*Even though seeds are small they need to be planted at 1/8"- 1/4" depth as they need darkness for germination*

Germinate in soil temperatures around 65°. Ensure good bright light available so the starts do not get leggy before transplanting outdoors occurs. Always harden off starts for a few days increasing exposure time. Then transplant into desired location in garden beds or containers. Looks amazing when planted in mass!

Height 8"-16" Spacing 6"-9"
