The flowers bloom from mid-spring to early summer and last for a little over a month. Butterflies are known to visit the flowers for their nectar, but generally, do not do a good job pollinating. White Violet's flowers are easily cultivated and prefer moist, rich loamy soil, or rich soils that are well drained. Canadian White Violet often grows in clumps. and spreads easily in a garden setting.

A Historic Plant
A German botanist and engraver named Jacob Sturm (1771-1848) drew White Violets in 1796. He depicted a violet with an abundance of bright green, spade-shaped leaves. Its blossoms contained five delicate white petals. Today, White Violets still resemble this description. They offer a subtle, fragrant aroma.
Excellent Bedding Plants
Despite their fragile appearance, White Violets enjoy a reputation for hardiness. They tolerate a range of growing conditions. Since they reach a maximum height between five to nine inches tall, these beautiful plants often populate the front rows of formal garden beds. They won't overshadow other flowers but will contribute to aromatic floral displays. White Violets grow well in containers, too. Experts recommend pinching off their spent blossoms throughout the Summer order to stimulate the growth of fresh blooms.
Growing Instructions
Gardeners plant White Violet seeds either in the autumn (to produce flowers the following Spring) or in early Springtime (to obtain blooms during the Summer). Seeds germinate well after exposure to cold weather. White Violets begin sprouting when temperatures reach the low 70 degrees Fahrenheit range.
