Hello,

I received some Viola polypoda seeds today, anyone has any advice on sowing conditions?

Principally rosulates germinate well with GA 3, otherwise the annuals of the section seem to sprout without it. A little bit of cold (not frost) for the seeds pots might be helpful (i.e. sow directly).
Take care of etiolation!

Hi Wim,
Did you have any joy with these seeds? I've just received some and was looking for advice on sowing.
