Wavy-leaved Violet (Viola subsinuata)

from $3.00

This violet is rather unique in Michigan. Sally found this violet on her land. She had a young botanist come to ID plants on her property and initially it was labeled Viola palmata (Wood Violet) because it bore the closest resemblance in Michigan Flora to the violets she had. Later, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that this is not wood violet. But, it is also not a violet that is listed in Michigan Flora.

Quite rare in Michigan, Viola subsinuata is an open woodland plant that occurs in rich soil often over calcareous soil. The natural range of this violet is the Great Lakes area as well as the Appalachian Mountains. See note below.

Also known as Early Blue Violet, the flowers are similar to the common violet Viola sororia. We chose to call this plant by its other common name as it is more descriptive: Wavy-leaved Violet. Several growers around the state have picked up and started growing this violet. When they acquired it, they were told that it was Wood Violet (Viola palmata).
