Viola hederacea (Australian Violet) is a charming and delicate perennial groundcover featuring tiny, kidney-shaped leaves and dainty white-and-purple "butterfly" flowers. Its creeping habit makes it an exceptional choice for shaded garden paths or softening the base of taller plants.

This professional-grade plant is grown with an organic heritage to ensure a strong, colonizing root system. It thrives in moist, partially shaded spots where it can form a lush, flowering mat that stays attractive year-round in mild climates.

  • Charming Blooms: Tiny bicolored flowers that look like miniature butterflies.
  • Shade Lover: One of the few flowering groundcovers that thrive in lower light.
  • Creeping Habit: Spreads via runners to fill moist garden nooks and crannies.
  • Soft Texture: Kidney-shaped foliage adds a delicate feel to garden edges.
  • Low Maintenance: Easy to grow and requires minimal care once established.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in partial shade to full shade with regular water needs.
