6 Reasons Why You Should LOVE Native Violets!

They get total respect from me. I just love them!!! I wouldn't hurt one of them for any reason!!!

They are my favorite flower.

Thank you for all this great information. My in-laws' yard is full of violets and I'd like to introduce them into my yard. Is this as easy as digging them up from their lawn and transplanting them in mine? I tend to overthink these things, so any advice you have for how I can bring these awesome plants to my yard is much appreciated.

These are one of my favorite wildflowers! I love watching for them to bloom as a sign of spring. I never knew they were a type of violet, thank you for this video about them!

I love the native violets when they are not in my garden beds and not in my greenhouse

I live in CA and in zone 9b. I have them in a very large and deep pot, but they nave never bloomed. Any reason why they haven’t and what I can do to get them to bloom? Thanks so much 😉

They smell so good, too. We take our chairs and sit right in the patches. My grandson would eat all the flowers if I don't stop him.

I didnt have money for landscaping when my husband and I married…I moved them to borders or wherever I needed a spring bloom…it worked…but will tell you…I have lost control in some areas…👍😂

How about western North Amartcan woods and plains?

My grandmother picked violets, put them in a little silver mug filled with water. She kept it in the refrigerator. Used the water as a refreshing drink.

I have always loved these and Johnny-jump-ups, which both grow wild in my area.

We always called them confederate roses.

A few years ago wild violets started popping up in our yard now our yard is have violets and half clover. When the violets stops blooming the clover starts. The best part is we don’t have to mow as often.

"Yes!" to doing a video on the different violets.

I love my violets! They’re all over my front lawn. A few years ago, we dug a few up and replanted in this little bed of sedum in the backyard. Those purple flowers, mixed with the silver sedum make my spring garden pop! No regrets.

I adore my violets! So excited to see them bloom in the spring and see them spread through my landscape over the years. ❤

My hubby doesn’t cut the grass where they are growing till they are done.

I like them, even if they do take over - but it’s fine because I don’t like grass anyway!

Love them! Encourage them in my garden.

I have these all over and around my house every year I love them , I've only have the deep purple I didn't know there are different colors I'll have to keep an eye out for them and when and if I find some I'll dig them up and plant them in my yard..🌼

I love my violets. My yard has literally hundreds. 😊

I think these violets are actually native to Europe.
