White Violet
Viola sororia
Common Violet is a stemless, rhizomatous perennial native to Florida. This low-growing species features glossy, heart-shaped leaves that are edible. It produces attractive white flowers with some blue veining that bloom in mid-spring and in winter. It thrives in moist, rich soils and dappled sunlight but adapts to various light conditions and soil types. Known for spreading to form pollinator-friendly ground cover it's valued for naturalizing in woodland gardens and shaded areas
