Common Dog Violet 9cm Pot Plants Viola riviniana

Common names include dog violet and wood violet.

A small native perennial plant with purple pansy-like flowers which grows up to 15cm in height, the common dog violet is found widespread across the UK in woodland edges, heaths, grassland and shady hedge banks.  It flowers from April to June, thriving in all soil types except very acidic or very wet.  Very like the sweet violet in appearance, but unscented. 

One of the RHS Plants for Pollinators, the common dog violet is an excellent food source for butterflies.

Sourced from native seed and grown in the UK, our 9cm pot plants are an ideal way to enhance your wildflower meadow or establish resilient plants in your garden or areas where seed germination can be unpredictable.

For the best results, we recommend planting 3 plants per square metre, grouping at least 3 of each species together to achieve a natural, flourishing look.
