Viola cornuta
Alba Minor

Sweet, tough, and pure as a little garden snowflake, Viola cornuta ‘Alba Minor’ is a charming perennial viola with pretty white flowers that bloom from spring into fall. Do not let those innocent blooms fool you — this compact little beauty can handle more heat and cold than many typical violas.

Also known as white horned violet, ‘Alba Minor’ forms a tidy, low mound that is lovely at the front of borders, along shady pathways, in woodland gardens, under shrubs, and in containers where its clean white flowers can brighten the planting. The blooms pair beautifully with hellebores, ferns, heucheras, pansies, primroses, and other cool-season or part-shade companions. Its long bloom season makes it especially useful for soft, understated color.

Plant Viola cornuta ‘Alba Minor’ in part shade to sun with rich, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Trim lightly when needed to refresh growth. Easy, compact, and quietly lovely, this perennial viola is a small-space treasure. Explore more charming favorites in our Viola collection.
