Viola sororia var. missouriensis
Also known as Missouri Violet, Common Blue Violet, Hooded Blue Violet, Florida Violet, Meadow Violet, Confederate Violet, Dooryard Violet, Purple Violet, Woolly Blue Violet, Wood Violet, Hooded Violet
Woolly blue violets, also known as Viola sororia, are delightful Missouri wildflowers that grace our wooded areas, thickets, and stream banks. This charming little perennial lacks a stem but proudly displays its low-growing stature, featuring soft, heart-shaped leaves and stunning large blue-violet flowers—sometimes even white with lovely purple veins! The flowers bloom on leafless stalks, making for a beautiful sight in early spring and sometimes popping up again in the summer.
These sweet plants thrive in average to well-drained soil, whether basking in full sunshine or enjoying a bit of shade. They absolutely love moist, humusy soils to flourish. Plus, they can self-seed easily and might even get a bit weedy when the conditions are just right, though they don’t spread by runners, keeping things manageable.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
