White Violet are perennial wildflowers found throughout the eastern United States and Canada. These beautiful flowers grow wild and create large white carpets on the ground. The flowers emerge from single stalks and feature deep green leaves that are often heart-shaped. They begin growing in the spring and persist throughout the summer. The flowers are fragrant and thrive in shade gardens. They grow between 4” to 8” inches wide and thrive in moist woodland areas.
Where To Plant White Violet
While they naturally grow in the wild, they are also excellent garden performers. They quickly spread throughout the garden via seed and underground runners. When planning where to plant them, consider zones 3 through 8 since they are hardy and plentiful in these areas. An added benefit of planting this beautiful plant in your garden is that it is deer-resistant.
They grow and thrive in conditions and areas where other violets do not typically grow. The unique leaves of the plant set them apart from other violet species.
The Charm Of White Violet
Due to their leaves' color and shape, violets are a popular choice for garden enthusiasts. The color white often occurs due to a change in soil pH. This is evident because most violets become purple when growing in acidic soil.
Caring For White Violet
White Violets are fragrant and easy-to-care-for plants that are an asset to any garden, yard, or landscape design. They thrive in the shade and sun and are planted in moist, well-drained soil. Since their fragrance is so pleasing, it’s recommended to plant them near doorways, pathways, and various areas throughout the garden for maximum enjoyment.
