Growing and Care Instructions:
- Planting: Sow the seeds in early spring or fall, pressing them lightly into the soil. The seeds should be covered with a thin layer of soil, as they require light for germination.
- Sunlight: Sweet Violets prefer partial shade to full shade, making them perfect for areas under trees or along shaded garden borders.
- Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist. Sweet Violets are tolerant of different moisture levels but should not be allowed to dry out completely.
- Soil: They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. Adding organic matter like compost can enhance growth and improve soil structure.
- Maintenance: Once established, these plants require minimal care. Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed formation.
