Fragrant shrub in shade (5)
I believe the answer is:
lilac
I believe this is a double definition.
'fragrant shrub' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'shade' is the second definition.
(I know that lilac is a type of violet)
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lilac that I've seen before include "Lavender-coloured" , "Pinkish purple - shrub" , "Pale purple - flowering tree" , "Genus Syringa shrub" , "Tree - pinkish-purple colour" .)
