Bird's Foot Violet. A selection with richly colored flowers from Don Jacobs of Eco Gardens. Two upper petals of purple violet contrast with the three paler petals and pairs with low finely cut foliage. This Great Plains native is a fine species and a tidy wee clumper. Most Violets scare the hell out of us because they either seed or run like mad. Or both.
