Violas can be started 8-12 weeks before your last spring frost and transplanted outside around your last frost. We share other hardy annuals that can be planted in the fall or late winter in this aritcle: https://www.floretflowers.com/easy-to-grow-hardy-annuals/

When is the best time to start the seeds? I have the capability to start them in a green house. Also, what other flower seeds can I start now for a fall winter bouquet?

I have been searching for 20 years to see them in a cut flower bouquet! This is so amazing and I love all testing and research you’ve done because, yes they are very persevering in a cooler or early-frost climate. I know you are testing and teaching how to do these as well as selling seeds and tips but would you ever consider getting into selling them as a floral cut bouquet? If so, I’d be very interested in helping you do so, such a beautiful untapped market! I’d love to mix them with another unseen gem in a cut bouquet that could change a lot in that market, the small tiny bells of the lily of the valley…..:)

I had no idea you could get long stems in them. I know how to spread their seeds around my garden and grow them in winter here in Lake Stevens and keep them deadheaded. I dont call them annuals because of this. I prefer the purples and blues and the frilly edged ones, this will be fun to explore more

Do you think these will do well during those seasons or are they more tender ?

They are beautiful and so fun but this is my second year (zone 7b) using your seeds and still can’t get a stem length longer that 3 or 4 inches. Planted them close together in a protected area but not covered. Any ideas how to improve stem length?
