How to Grow and Care for Viola Sorbet Autumn Select Mix Seeds
- Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Lightly press the seeds into moist, well-draining seed-starting mix but do not cover them, as they require light to germinate. Alternatively, sow the seeds directly outdoors in late summer or early fall for fall blooms.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination and growth. Once established, water regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist.
- Light Conditions: Viola Sorbet prefers full sun to partial shade. It blooms best in areas with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day, but it can also tolerate some light shade.
- Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil is ideal. Viola Sorbet thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Enrich the soil with organic matter if necessary.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote new blooms. If plants become leggy, pinch back the tips to encourage a bushier growth habit.
- Pruning: After flowering in spring, cut back any dead or damaged stems to maintain the plant's appearance. Viola Sorbet is usually self-sufficient, requiring minimal care once established.
