Viola - Marina Seeds

These violas are new to the farm this year, and Emily is very excited to see how they grow. Violas naturally have short stems, so a bit of pinching and regular trimming will help encourage longer stems over time — plus the flowers are edible, making them just as fun to use in the kitchen as they are in arrangements.

These seeds are originally from Johnny's Seeds.  They were not produced here at the farm.  These are the same seeds we plant to produce our 2-acre flower field.  As I always order extra, I have repackaged the seeds into smaller quantities to allow you the opportunity to grow them, too (as not everyone needs 1000 seeds!).
