Extremely scented and wonderfully carefree, Viola odorata ‘Queen Charlotte’ is the reigning sovereign of sweet violets. This charming perennial forms a dense clump of pretty heart-shaped leaves about 6" tall and 15" wide, topped in spring with upward-facing lavender-blue blooms held beautifully above the foliage.

Also known as Queen Charlotte Sweet Violet, this old-fashioned favorite is perfect for woodland gardens, shady borders, pathway edges, underplanting shrubs, cottage gardens, and containers placed where the fragrance can be enjoyed up close. The richly scented flowers are lovely for posies and small bouquets, while the tidy foliage creates a lush, green groundcover effect in cool, sheltered spaces.

Plant Viola odorata ‘Queen Charlotte’ in part shade to full shade with rich, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Easy, fragrant, and long-lived, it brings classic violet romance to the garden year after year. Explore more sweet little treasures in our Viola collection.
