Sweet violet 'Royal Wedding' is an ideal choice for those parts of the garden where sunbeams rarely fall. As a typical understory plant of deciduous forests, it requires a partially shady to full shade location to grow happily. It will thrive best under the canopies of mature trees or near shrubs, where the soil is naturally moister and protected from harsh midday scorch. Plant the seedlings in humous, well-draining, and loamy soil that can retain moisture but is not waterlogged. Before planting, we recommend working mature compost or leaf mold into the ground, which will give the plants necessary nutrients for a start. Because it is a groundcover perennial that eventually spreads using above-ground runners, maintain a spacing of approximately 25 to 30 cm when planting. If you want to quickly achieve the effect of a continuous blooming carpet, expect to plant roughly 9 to 12 plants per square meter.
Caring for this perennial is very easy and can be handled even by a complete beginner. Above all, regular watering is essential in the period after planting, until the seedling is fully rooted. Even in maturity, the sweet violet likes slightly moist soil, so during periods of longer drought, do not forget to supply water, especially if it grows under trees that might take moisture away from it. A great advantage of the 'Royal Wedding' cultivar is its excellent health status; the plant does not suffer from common diseases or pests, so you don't have to worry about needing chemical sprays. Thanks to its extreme frost hardiness down to -34 °C, it requires no special winter protection and reliably overwinters in our conditions. Early in the spring, you can remove old or damaged leaves to make room for new, fresh green growth and pure white flowers.
Many customers ask about the possibility of growing it in containers. You can safely plant the 'Royal Wedding' sweet violet in pots or window boxes as well. It is a great solution for shady, north-facing balconies or terraces. When growing in a container, however, you must ensure that the substrate never dries out completely, because in a confined space the roots have nowhere to reach for water. The bottom of the container should have drainage holes so the roots do not rot. In containers, not only the beauty of the flowers stands out, but you will also be closer to their captivating fragrance. Furthermore, the flowers are edible, so you can harvest them straight from the window box to decorate spring desserts.
