Your Daily Dose of Natural Beauty, courtesy Advertiser Zenith Holland Nursery – Wood Violets bring delicate charm to naturalized gardens:
Violets are blue…and sometimes yellow, and white, but today’s image highlights the traditional blue wood violet. With a low growing pattern, the wood violet is great planted in mass especially in shady areas. The wood violet is the state flower of Wisconsin, schoolchildren elected it so in 1909 because it called to mind Wisconsin’s scenic vistas. Although Wood Violets do well in shade, they can also tolerate sunnier spots as well, which of course lends them to many more garden uses.
As the name suggests, the wood violet has a simple “wild flower” look and enjoys the additional benefit of self-seeding to return and also multiply on a perennial basis. Thus, wood violets are a great choice for a naturalized landscape. With our regular rains, wood violets typically do not require additional watering, making them an easy care choice as a ground cover or understory planting.
