"Our hands-down favorite for bold color and knock-out fragrance! Flame orange petals are pierced with a whiskered bright yellow center and backed with violet-rose. Many of the 1"" flowers twirl open showing double petals. Super tough, fast growers bloom all season. Ht: 8-10"".
Sorry, state laws prohibit shipping plants to AK or HI. Plants ship in spring at proper planting time. ( click here for shipping schedule )"

Poor germination,
March 8, 2009 Submitted byNolla from Philadelpha, PA
"I got one sprout out of about the 30 seeds I planted. I'm an experienced gardener and I grow my own flowers and vegetables from seed every year. This was the first time I tried violas, but I've never had a problem with other seeds germinating.
I'm in zone 6 so I start seeds indoors. I might try seeding directly into the ground with the few seeds I have left, when it warms up a bit. But I definitely wont try them indoors again."

Not a single sprout from seeds,
March 28, 2008 Submitted byanita627 from Oceanside, CA
"I purchased several packets of these seeds, and not one even sprouted. I am an experienced gardener, and did everything I should have, just no life. I have since purchased live plants of this same viola which arrived topsy-turvy (half were buried in the dirt and I had to sift them out). Two of the plants were too damaged to survive, but the rest are doing well. I'm in zone 10."

not easy to grow,
December 4, 2007 Submitted byjjjj from NJ
"I would recommend this plant to southern gardeners, and northern gardeners with a little more patience. If northern gardeners have a very very sunny spot indoors or lights to grow these plants for spring then that is an option but for northern gardeners like me in zone 6 the best way to grow them is plant them out side in July keep them growing until fall and protect them out side with hay until spring then in early April when they start to grow dig them up, put them into there new spots and let them grow there until June. People in zone 6 should have a good 95% of their plants alive in the spring. This works the same for pansies. The picture on the website isn’t what you get it is more yellow and purple than orange."
