Hairy violet
Viola hirta
Hairy violet is a charming, compact perennial wildflower that produces delicate purple blooms in early spring, making it a lovely addition to rock gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. It prefers partial shade to dappled sunlight and well-drained, slightly alkaline soil, requiring minimal watering once established. This low-maintenance plant spreads gently via seed and is excellent for attracting early-season pollinators.
