| Hi ! Sorry for that but only odorata and parma smell :-) That's the way it is :-)p
I'm so glad we have many odoratas in Europe (France and England are the best place to find them): we are spoiled ;-)p
If odorata (especially the common one which is invasive) is easy, parma is not always and cold winter can become a problem. Take care.

| Violetvamp, Logees in Ct has a nice collection of fragrant violets, but they are not listed in their catalogue. Probably best to call them direct. I have not ordered any from this nursery, but they appear to have a magnificant fragrant collection: http://www.canyoncreeknursery.com/violets.html I have tried to do trades to get fragrant violets but have only had a couple of trades. Wish I could get some of the lovely fragrant Parma in trades! |

| Hi ! That page is ok: http://www.canyoncreeknursery.com/violets.html
Canyon Creek Nursery has a really good choice of fragant violets :-))
However, beware, viola Rebecca and viola Etain (page called English viola) are not violet but pansy so, of course, they are not scented plants ! Good luck in your trades :-)
Take care.
