Viola hederacea, commonly known as Native Violet, is a low-growing, spreading ground cover that thrives in shady, moist areas. With its lush green foliage and delicate purple and white flowers, this Australian native is perfect for adding soft texture and color to gardens.

Its trailing habit makes it an excellent choice for ground cover, hanging baskets, or as an underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. Native Violet is fast-growing, creating a dense carpet of foliage that helps suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
