Viola pedata (Bird’s Foot Violet) is a delicate, native perennial prized for its bright, striking violet flowers and distinctive deeply lobed foliage. Blooming in spring, it adds early-season color to rock gardens, wildflower meadows, borders, and native plant landscapes. Adaptable to full sun to part shade and well-drained soils, this low-maintenance violet is highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Its compact habit, vibrant blooms, and ecological value make Viola pedata an excellent choice for gardeners seeking native, sustainable, and visually appealing plantings.
