Not all roses are red, and not all violets are blue. This butter yellow beauty is easy to grow in the same conditions you enjoy your wild blue violets. Unlike the blue and white violets, this one is stemmed. In other words, it forms a short plant rather than just a rosette of leaves and flowers flat on the ground.
Wild yellow violets are a must-have for any woodland garden. Most people have never seen them, and once happy, they're there every spring, and spread rapidly.
