Sweet Violet
Plant Type:
SHADE PERENNIALSViola odorata 'Reine de Neiges' ('Snow Queen') - Beautiful cultivar with all fragrant violets opening light blue, maturing white. Typical dark to medium green heart to broadly spatulate-shaped leaves. This Sweet Violet would be lovely at garden's edge or a gentle standout in the climax lawn where it will form a colony with plants here and there among other denizens. Easy to please Viola odorata 'Reine de Neiges' will be happy in modest to fertile soil; really any soil that holds on to moisture between rains. Exposure is morning sun to dappled light or open shade in the afternoon. Consider more afternoon shade in hotter parts of the country, more sun will be fine in the north.
