Viola sororia var. missouriensis
Also known as Missouri Violet, Common Blue Violet, Hooded Blue Violet, Florida Violet, Meadow Violet, Confederate Violet, Dooryard Violet, Purple Violet, Woolly Blue Violet, Wood Violet, Hooded Violet
Woolly blue violets, also known as Viola sororia, are delightful Missouri wildflowers that grace our wooded areas, thickets, and stream banks. This charming little perennial lacks a stem but proudly displays its low-growing stature, featuring soft, heart-shaped leaves and stunning large blue-violet flowers—sometimes even white with lovely purple veins! The flowers bloom on leafless stalks, making for a beautiful sight in early spring and sometimes popping up again in the summer.
These sweet plants thrive in average to well-drained soil, whether basking in full sunshine or enjoying a bit of shade. They absolutely love moist, humusy soils to flourish. Plus, they can self-seed easily and might even get a bit weedy when the conditions are just right, though they don’t spread by runners, keeping things manageable.
