Sweet White Violet, Viola blanda, is a stoloniferous, stemless, low-growing perennial that is 1-5 inches high and which features basal, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant, white flowers with strongly-reflexed upper petals and a purple-veined lower petal. Each flower rests atop its own leafless stalk. Blooms in early spring. Native to moist woods.
Easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil in part shade. Prefers humusy, moisture-retentive soils. Spreads by runners to form large carpets in the wild.
