Might be a nuisance if it weren't so lovely! Seeding around freely, it makes a running mass of small dark purple leaves which set off the quantities of small, light violet coloured alas scentless flowers. Beautiful with Milium effusum 'Aureum', (Bowless golden grass) and snowdrops.
Viola riviniana Purpurea Group
