Viola odorata. AKA Sweet Violet. Cherished since ancient times for its sweet scent, this diminutive perennial spreads slowly by above-ground stolons, a bit like strawberry runners, but on a more compact scale. Used extensively in making perfume for many centuries, Sweet Violet is intensely fragrant. Enjoy Sweet Violets in containers, borders, rock gardens, and edging. The small plants grow to only 10-15cm (4-6”) tall.
Perennial – often grown as an annual
