Viola odorata pink

Common Name:
Pink Sweet Violet

Description:
Viola odorata 'Rosina' is a delightful, low-growing perennial celebrated for its soft pink, sweetly fragrant flowers that bloom from autumn through to spring. Forming a dense mat of lush, heart-shaped green leaves, this variety is ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or as a charming ground cover beneath trees and shrubs. Thriving in Melbourne's climate, 'Rosina' prefers moist, well-drained soils and performs best in partial to full shade. Its extended flowering period and delightful scent make it a valuable addition to gardens seeking early-season colour and fragrance.
