This is a pretty little violet that has naturalized itself in a very shaded area of my folk's cabin. The soil is glacial till with about a 1/2" of forest debris. I have not been successful in getting it to establish itself in my yard. It seems to be a rainforest plant and takes much patience to get established.

I like this opinion
