Viola odorata 'Rubra'
Viola odorata 'Rubra' is a delightful and richly coloured form of the sweet violet, producing fragrant deep reddish-purple flowers from late winter into spring. Low-growing and gently spreading, it forms a charming carpet of heart-shaped green leaves beneath its jewel-toned blooms.
Highly valued for both its scent and early-season colour, ‘Rubra’ is perfect for edging paths, underplanting shrubs, or naturalising in woodland-style gardens. Its nectar-rich flowers are a welcome source of food for early pollinators, while its compact habit makes it ideal for smaller spaces and informal planting schemes.
