Description
Labrador Violet is a charming, low-growing perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens. This hardy plant features heart-shaped, purple-tinged foliage that adds year-round interest. In spring, delicate lavender-blue flowers bloom atop leafy stems, creating a striking contrast against the rich foliage. As a native of moist woodlands in the northern U.S. and Canada, Labrador Violet is well-suited for naturalized areas and native plant gardens.
This versatile perennial grows best in average, well-drained soil with full sun to part shade. It spreads easily by creeping stems and self-seeding, making it an excellent choice for ground cover or as a filler between stepping stones. Labrador Violet is low-maintenance and thrives when left undisturbed, making it ideal for rock gardens and woodland landscapes. With its beautiful blooms and resilient growth, this violet is a must-have for Massachusetts gardeners.
