Native Violet for Woodland and Groundcover Plantings
Common Blue Violet (Viola sororia) is a low-growing native perennial with purple-blue spring flowers. It can spread to form colonies in suitable sites and works well beneath deciduous trees, along woodland edges, and in other part-shade plantings.
The flowers may be visited by early-season pollinators, and Viola sororia serves as a host plant for fritillary butterfly caterpillars.
