Seems to be a good flowering species (hybrid?) of Japanese origin! Very nice!

yes, it is  a hybrid of which one of the parents is suspected to be V. coreana, although it is much more vigorous.
it produces only malformed cleistogamous pods.

 it is associated or identical to Viola 'Dancing Geisha'.
 the foliage is very beautiful too.

How to differentiate Viola alba from Viola odorata, Gerd?
 I have some white viola mats in my garden ... not really fragrant.

I would like to be sure that it is Viola odorata

I have never tried to seed them as they do it themselves very well  ;D, but I have often found difficult to get seedlings from Viola seeds.

"Germination Tips:
Sow immediately. The viability of these seeds is short or the species propagates best with fresh seed. Stored seed might be coaxed into germination with temperature cycling and patience."

If you get no germination, I could send fresh seeds to you in late spring, early summer ... ;)
