Viola
pedata,
Birdfoot Violet, Birds-Foot Violet or Pansy violet,
Is a very showy plant with large flowers for the border of your spring garden
and is excellent for use in outdoor planters. Birdfoot Violet grows wild
over the Midwest and Eastern US on prairies, glades, savannas, dry open woods,
upland slopes or ridges and on dry banks along roadsides.
Birdfoot Violet or Bird's Foot Violet plants are excellent grown in a large container on the deck or in the yard. The Birdfoot violet flowers in the photo have been growing in a large pot in the yard for several years.
Viola pedata Birdfoot Violet seeds may be extremely slow to germinate. Germination of birdsfoot violet seeds may be improved with an overnight soak in GA3 (Gibberellic acid) resulting in germination in approximately 10 days. Some of my customers also suggest pre-soaking hard to germinate birdfoot violet seeds in a kelp solution for 24 hours before planting.
The map below shows areas with wild populations of native Viola pedata birdfoot violet. When planted Birds Foot Violet wildflower plants will grow over most of the United States. Plant in USDA plant hardiness zones 2 to 9. family Violaceae
