Viola odorata | Rosea Mastering the art of flower gardening a collage of vintage imagesA lovely little sweet English Violet in a very hard to find rosy pink colour! Also known as Parma violets, they are the most fragrant of all the sweet violets, and grow well in shady, moist areas and can suppress weeds. Viola odorata is a semi evergreen perennial that produces fragrant pink flowers from late winter to early spring. It's perfect for growing in a sheltered spot in light shade and can make good ground cover in a dappled woodland garden
