Sweet White Violet is a charming perennial wildflower prized for its delicate, fragrant blooms and heart-shaped leaves. Blooming in early spring, its small, pure white flowers with a faint purple tint and yellow throat add subtle beauty to shady woodlands and moist meadows. This species thrives in rich, well-drained soils and spreads modestly, making it an excellent ground cover for naturalized areas and woodland gardens. Sweet White Violet attracts early pollinators, adding ecological value to its aesthetic appeal.
