Sweet white violet Description:
Viola blanda, commonly known as sweet white violet, is a herbaceous perennial plant that is native to eastern North America. It can be found in woodlands, meadows, and along streambanks in the eastern part of the United States and Canada.
Sweet white violet typically grows 3 to 6 inches tall and has a spreading habit. It has heart-shaped leaves that are arranged alternately on the stem. In mid-spring to early summer, the plant produces small, white flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Viola blanda is an excellent plant for naturalizing in a woodland garden or shade garden, and it is highly valued for its ornamental properties. It prefers a moist, well-drained soil in partial to full shade and can be used as a groundcover, edging, or as a specimen plant. The plant is deer-resistant and can be easily grown from seed or transplants. The attractive flowers and foliage make it a beautiful addition to any garden or landscape, and the early blooming period makes it a great option for early season interest.
