Labrador Violet

A delightful groundcover, also known as American dog violet or alpine violet, this lovely low-growing species charms observers with its beautiful edible blooms in Spring and Fall, and its pleasing dark green leaves which emanate deep purple year-round. This amiable cousin of more vigorous violets is a considerate neighbor. It does slowly spread and self-seeds around the garden but is not overly assertive and won’t crowd out established perennials. It enjoys meandering along edges and between rocks. Butterfly attractant and deer resistant.
