    Customer photo review of Viola Seeds - Tiger Eye Yellow

    Hope this helps another grower! I'm not sure if this needs cold stratification, I read the instructions from the packet and it clearly states it doesn't, but I planted these in October of 2025 I believe and now in January after multiple frost days in zone 9 I have finally gotten a blooming flower. A beautiful blooming flower has appeared and I appreciate it presence. So with that, experiment and be patient, it'll grow!

    I planted a whole pkg in early March zone 8b expecting spring flowers in my porch boxes. I finally got one plant in early August with one blossom.
