Viola Pedatifida also known as the Prairie Violet, the Bearded Birdfoot Violet, and the Larkspur Violet, has 5 petaled, irregular, blue-violet to purple flowers that are ¾ to 1 inch long at the end of a stalk that rises atop or among the leaves at peak bloom. The 2 lateral petals are white at the base that have tufts of white hairs (bearded), and the lower petal is also white at the base and has dark purple veins that radiate from the center, forms a short spur at the back, and is also bearded, but its hairs are hidden within the throat. The green leaves are all basal, and the mature leaves are 1 – 2 inches long. They have a blooming season that ranges from April to June, can be grown in either full sun or part shade in well-draining soils, and will grow between 3 – 6 inches tall. These showy flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies, Bees, and Birds while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They can be used in borders and also act as a groundcover.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
