This cute little violet is just perfect for the front border of your perennial bed, rock gardens, or along open paths in your woodland garden. It comes on early in the season and has a long bloom period – it’s a wonderful resource for a multitude of early pollinators. Thick, fuzzy, lance-shaped leaves form a crown that enlarges over time by short rhizomes.
