Viola odorata 'Swanley White'
Double white form, sweetly fragrant and lovely. Easy and clumping like other forms, best used in shade as ground cover.
One of the first plants I grew from cutting; quick growing and floriferous in a short space of time. In summer it requires complete cutting to the ground like an oriental poppy, and will resprout in autumn when there is sufficient moisture. Easy and quick to fill in spaces; pink flowers.
