Blue Violet (Viola sororia)

Freely self-seeding, Common Blue Violet will spread readily. It is sometimes considered a lawn weed because of its prolific and adaptable nature, but together, they are a lovely groundcover and provide early nectar source for bees and other pollinators. Viola sororia is also one of the larval host plants for Fritillary butterflies.
