Description: Deep blue flowers start in the early spring and are a welcome sight. This versatile perennial grows on a variety of sites including moderately dry shade. This low-growing wildflower will seed itself about which makes it great for large spaces. Early Blue Violets also work well in smaller spaces due to their compact size and they can be counted on to put on a show; violets are easy to pull if unwanted.
Violets provide food for Frittilary butterfly caterpillars and are a great way to attract them to your yard!

Found in Nature: Moist prairie, open wooded areas and moderately dry shady sites.

Distribution: Foothills, Rocky Mountains

Notes: Available as larger potted stock - pick up only.
