Viola sp
Purchased from walmart at the beginning of the season
Hocking county ohio
They are spreading like crazy! Starting the second budding cycle of the season so more pretty blooms to come.
I have suggested a scientific name for you that narrows it down to genus. Since this plant is a cultivar, it is most likely a crossing of many different species and subspecies of Viola. I think it may be impossible to find a specific species for you, although usually when you buy them, they come with a little fact card that tells about the plant, such as scientific name, pH level, sunlight needed, etc. Hope this helps!
