Viooltje
The violet is a small but very hardy perennial that is an inseparable herald of spring. Its natural habitat is found in light deciduous forests and groves, making it an ideal plant for the shady and semi-shady corners of your garden. Where other species might struggle, violets create dense, low carpets that beautifully scent the space in the spring. Besides the well-known fragrant species, you will also find types with darker, purple-toned foliage here. These remain interesting even when the plant is not in bloom. Violets are fully frost-hardy and work perfectly as underplanting beneath trees or shrubs, where they protect the soil from drying out. Taking care of them takes almost no time at all. Once they take root in a suitable spot, they spread easily and will delight you with a flood of tiny flowers year after year.
