Viola canadensis – Canada Violet – 1-Quart

$6.00

One of the best native woodland violets. Blooms over a long season, Spring through early Summer – even into mid Summer given sufficient moisture. The beautiful white flowers are tinged in violet and have a yellow center and purple nectar guides. The outside of the flower is violet so the flowers are this color in bud and after they close – this produces a multi- hued effect. Spreads by runners to make a dense groundcover and, like all violets, also spreads by seed.

We harvest from populations growing in garden beds around the nursery and almost always have some in stock – just by chance, occasionally none.
