Default variegated wild violet

I have been fighting wild violets in my front yard since about six
years ago when I intentionally planted some that I dug up from a field
that was about to be bulldozed for a development. I leave some alone
in the yard well away from the beds, but I have been trying to
eliminate them from some of my planting beds with smaller perennials
and annuals since they tend to just take over. This year I found one
under a shrub that has very lovely green and white variegation.
Flower was the same as the others.

Since I have no idea what the seed from this violet will do, I was
wondering what to do to propogate it. Just dig it and divide it? Or
leave it alone and let it make little bulblets or whatever they are
called under the soil? I know it is hard to kill violets most of the
time but since this one is pretty I figure I am far more likely to
murder it. =)
