Viola ‘Pink Perfume’

Common Name:
Sweet Violet ‘Pink Perfume’

Description:
Viola ‘Pink Perfume’ is a charming, low-growing perennial violet prized for its dainty pink flowers and delightful sweet fragrance. Forming a compact mound of fresh green, heart-shaped foliage, it produces delicate blooms that bring colour and perfume to garden beds, borders, pathways, woodland-style plantings and containers. Its naturally small stature also makes it useful for planting beneath deciduous trees and shrubs or towards the front of shaded borders. In Melbourne, ‘Pink Perfume’ performs particularly well in part shade, although it can tolerate full sun where the soil remains cool and adequately moist. It prefers fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering during dry conditions. Flowering is strongest during the cooler months, particularly from late winter through spring, with additional flowers possible at other times when conditions are favourable. Its combination of fragrance, attractive foliage and delicate pink blooms makes it an excellent choice for cottage gardens, sensory gardens and intimate spaces where its perfume can be appreciated.
