Common Blue Violet (Viola sororia) is a charming native wildflower known for its heart-shaped leaves and delightful deep blue to purple blooms. Flowering in spring, its vibrant blossoms add a pop of color to shady or woodland gardens, while also serving as an important nectar source for bees and early pollinators. Its compact growth habit makes it a versatile groundcover, spreading naturally to fill spaces in garden beds or naturalized areas.

Thriving in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soils, Common Blue Violet is both low-maintenance and hardy, making it an excellent addition to wildflower gardens or as an understory plant in shaded borders. Its adaptability and self-seeding nature allow it to spread effortlessly, enhancing the garden with its timeless beauty and natural charm year after year. This perennial is also a larval host plant for various butterfly species, adding ecological value to your garden.
