How to grow violas and pansies from seed

Pansies and violas are easy to start from seed if you know where to place them: a dark, chilly spot in your home will improve their germination rates. In this video I share how I sow them. You can start them from seed in late January/early February to have blooms by mid-April. They are also edible flowers, which are featured in my book, "Micro Food Gardening" (Cool Springs Press/Quarto Knows).
