Viola cornuta- Arkwright Ruby – These boastful perennials bloom from spring to fall. They are a dark red color with golden centers. They are easily established, can be grown in either full shade to partial shade in well-draining soils, and will grow between 6 – 8 inches tall. They are showstoppers for any garden and have been around for a while, since colonial times! These showy flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bumblebees, and ladybugs to the garden. They don’t mind being clustered together and often thrive in crowded groups. It is best to plant them in partial shade in hotter temperature areas. They do well in containers, flower beds, baskets, and window boxes. Light is required for germination, and they need to be thinly covered with soil that is kept moist but not saturated. Some nice features of these flowers is that they are easy to grow and low maintenance, making them perfect for the beginning, busy gardener!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
