| "Rosina" Sweet Violet |
Having grown up with traditional Sweet Violets
I'm a bit in love with the splendid cultivars which are appearing again
after another "un-fashionable" hiatus
Delightfully perfumed, perfect in shady damp gardens
working well in pots on an Eastern or Southern side of the home
