Hello Newbie -

you can purchase the seeds at the Parkseed.com.
If you are a new grower - it would be less challenge to start your violet collection from starter plants or leaves. Growing plants from seeds can be a problem.

The general info on growing AVs you can read at the fabulous site rachelreflections.com, on avsa.org. Any library has books on AVs, if you are interested in hybridizing and growing from seeds - Melvin Robey is the author.

Good Luck

Irina
