Garden violet
Viola odorata
Garden violet is a beloved fragrant perennial that produces sweetly scented purple or white flowers in early spring, thriving in partial shade with consistently moist, humus-rich soil. Plant in a sheltered spot under trees or along shaded borders and water regularly during the growing season. It spreads slowly via runners and self-seeding, gradually forming a beautiful low-growing carpet.
