Viola epipsila
Viola epipsila
Viola epipsila, the dwarf marsh violet, is a delicate woodland perennial from cool temperate Europe and Asia that thrives in moist, humus-rich soils under partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist and avoid hot, dry conditions, as this species is adapted to boggy woodland margins and streamside habitats. It is best used in shaded rock gardens or bog plantings where moisture can be reliably maintained.
