🌱 How to Grow Viola Angel Tiger Eye Red from Seed

Growing this variety is straightforward and rewarding:

  1. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last spring frost or for fall planting.

  2. Use a fine seed-starting mix and lightly cover seeds with vermiculite or sifted soil.

  3. Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C).

  4. Keep the soil consistently moist.

  5. Germination usually occurs in 7–14 days.

  6. Transplant once seedlings have 3–4 true leaves and all frost danger has passed.

Violas grow best in full sun to partial shade with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Deadheading can extend blooming and keep plants tidy.
