Purple Rain

gardenfanatic2003
20 years ago

I'm going to order some Purple Rain Violas from Graceful Gardens this spring. Does anyone know if they'll be perennial in Missouri zone 5? I've never grown violas before.

I'm also going to start some Penny Lane Violas from seed (or attempt to, anyway). Any special secrets to germinating violas?
