Help ... Looking for Viola papilionacea

Posted by bill463 9B (My Page) on

I'm having a very difficult time trying to obtain wood violets, Viola papilionacea. I've checked numerous seed companies (Thompson-Morgan, Parks, Stokes, Burpee, Jung etc..), local nurseries, online nurseries (Toadshade won't ship to Florida) ... you name it, I've searched.

Can anyone suggest?
Any form ... plant, cutting, seed .... doesn't matter to me.

Are there any Viola papilionacea experts out there?
Please chime in.
Thanks,
Bill

This site might have them. The blue violets are common and if you have something to trade for them, perhaps you should post on the Plant Exchange forum.

Here is a link that might be useful: Viola

Thanks Carol, I placed an online order through Toadshade (http://www.toadshade.com)
... hopefully they'll ship to me!

If anyone else is interested, I also had success through the following:

Sheffield's Seed Co. (Viola sororia seeds)
http://www.sheffields.com

Mary's Plant Farm (Viola Papilionacea, Blue Wood Violet)
http://www.marysplantfarm.com

a bit late, but just for reference...
V. papilionacea is synonymized with V. sororia (that is, there is no consistent botanical difference, with V. sororia being the preferred name).
So you would find it under V. sororia nowadays.
