Bird Foot Violet

Description

Viola pedata

Birdfoot violet is a delicate perennial wildflower native to North America, particularly prevalent in the eastern United States. It is named for its distinctively shaped leaves, which resemble bird footprints, and produces striking purple or blue-violet flowers in spring. This species typically grows in dry, open woodlands and prairies, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies and adding a charming touch to natural landscapes.
