Know before you buy
These violas are versatile and perform beautifully in both containers and garden beds. Because they have a compact, uniform habit of 4 to 6 inches, they are particularly well-suited for window boxes, hanging baskets, and small patio pots.
The Angel Tiger Eye variety is bred for superior cold tolerance, making them an excellent choice for over-wintering in many climates. They are specifically designed to thrive in the cooler temperatures of early spring and late fall, often surviving light frosts that would damage other annuals.
Yes, you should cover the seeds during germination. Maintain a soil temperature between 60-65°F, and you can expect germination to occur within 8 to 15 days.
