Viola Chicky Chicks Seeds

Sow indoors, March-September. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 0.5cm (¼") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant to other trays, 5cm (2") apart, when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out to flowering positions in well-drained soil, May-October, allowing 15cm (6") between plants. Flowers: June to October. Early sowings will flower the same year. Those from July onwards will flower the following spring.
