Viola sororia 'Freckles'

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22°C), then give a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; in that case, simply let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
