Description
Sweet Viola (Viola philippica) is a long-blooming perennial violet with heart-shaped foliage and delicate violet-purple flowers held just above the leaves. It flowers over an unusually long season, self-seeds gently, and looks equally good tumbling from a hanging basket or carpeting shade beneath trees.
