Downy Yellow Violet, Downy Violet, Hairy Yellow Violet, Yellow Violet, Common Yellow Violet
Viola pubescens (Downy Yellow Violet) is a clump-forming perennial boasting bright yellow flowers with tiny black whiskers painted toward the throat. Blooming late spring to early summer, the charming blossoms are borne solitary on short, leafy stems and rise above the sturdy foliage of heart-shaped, toothed leaves. Both stems and leaves are softly hairy, hence the common name. Downy Yellow Violet remains green throughout the summer if there is enough moisture. Otherwise, it goes dormant. Perfect for the shade garden, Downy Yellow Violet is at home in borders, woodland gardens, wildflower gardens or naturalized areas.
