Description
I love violets and especially native ones. Bird’s Foot Violets are a bit more picky than the regular ones, but they are truly special with their bird’s foot shaped leaves.
Great as an understory for full-sun plantings. They do like light exposure.
Prefers drier soil conditions; preferably sandy soils.
Host plant for larvae of Edward’s Fritillary butterfly, Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly, the Mormon Fritillary butterfly, the Coronis Fritillary butterfly, and the Variegated Fritillary butterfly.
