Violas were grown in the United States dating all the way back to colonial times. They are a wonderful performer, and they are so easily established from Viola seeds. Arkwright Ruby Viola flowers are a dark wine color with a golden center and edging. Fill containers, window boxes, and baskets with these glorious little treasures.
Red Viola plants grow best in rich, moist, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Use a slow-release fertilizer in the soil if planting Violas in a container. Those grown as bedding plants tend to bloom continuously in regions where the growing season is cool, but they will refrain from blooming as the weather heats up.

I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
