Viola striata – striped cream violet
Striped White Violet (Viola striata) is a rather tall and attractive species that blooms later than most violets (Viola spp.) and is attractive to butterflies. It also has a longer than average period of bloom than most violets because its flowers are produced as the stems become longer.
Description
Viola striata, commonly called striped cream, has creamy white flowers which appear in late spring. Its dark green, heart-shaped leaves form a thick ground cover. It works well when used in masses in shaded areas of woodland gardens, wildflower gardens or native plant gardens.
