| USES | Excellent in containers and garden beds. Edible flowers and cut flowers.Select varieties (see variety descriptions) are suitable for cut flowers under the following conditions; grown from a very early spring planting or an overwintered planting so that well-established plants are coming into flower during the long days and warm temperature of spring and early summer. Long days and warm temperature cause the elongation of stems and profuse flowering that is required for quality cut flower viola. For compact bedding plants, grow seedlings and young plants at cool temperatures and high light levels to minimize stretching. |
