Viola sororia (/vaɪˈoʊləsəˈrɔːriə/vy-OH-lə sə-ROR-ee-ə),[5] known commonly as the common blue violet, is a short-stemmed herbaceous perennial plant native to eastern North America. It is known by a number of common names, including common meadow violet, purple violet, woolly blue violet, hooded violet, and wood violet.[5]
This perennial plant is distributed in the eastern half of the United States, Canada, and a part of eastern Mexico.[6] Its native habitats are rich, moist woods, and swamps located in the eastern half of the United States and Canada.[7] Its cultivar 'Albiflora' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[8]
Self-seeding freely in lawns and gardens, it can be considered a weed by some. Cleistogamous seed heads may also appear on short stems in late summer and early autumn.
