Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Prairie Violet Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

A beauty to behold, this prairie princess is clad in classic violet garb. This petite wildflower forms clumps that are near the ground, and blooms in the cooler seasons of spring and fall. The first historical record of this species comes from 1831, in the botanical records of Scottish botanist George Don. The species name, "pedatifida," comes from the Latin words for "cleft like a foot" and refers to the deeply divided leaves that resemble a bird's foot. Though it appears very similar to the well known Bird's Foot Violet, this particular species has slightly smaller flowers.
