I ordered Violet seed and it's early fall around high 60s and low 70s. Should I plant seed now, early winter, or in spring?

In my experience, pretty much everything from the Violaceae Family of plants can be sown in Fall, Winter and Spring. It largely depends on what you want to do with them.

I was afraid if I grow now they will germinate and then once frost comes will kill the seedlings.

I think any that do sprout will winter over if they're growing in the ground, Keith. They do here anyway.

I don't think that would be a problem but you can wait until after your 2nd hard freeze if you like.

I'm growing in pots

Then I'd Winter Sow them. Late December early January. Here is a link to get you started .. be warned though, once you start Winter Sowing your seeds you'll be hooked!
