Alpine Violet, American Dog Violet, Labrador Violet, Viola adunca var. minor, Viola conspersa
Viola labradorica (Labrador Violet)is a low-growing, spreading, semi-evergreen perennial with purple-tinged, heart-shaped leaves topped with small, dainty, lavender-blue flowers in early to late spring. Each flower sits atop short, leafy stalks. Each plant usually has 2-4 flowering stalks. Native to moist woods in Canada, Greenland, and in the northeastern United States, this sweet little violet is evergreen in milder climates. It is an outstanding little plant between stepping stones or as a ground cover for small areas.
