This white blooming violet is taller than most other violets and blooms later and longer than most. It is native from southern Wisconsin & southern Michigan through southern Ontario through New York into southern New England down to northern Georgia to eastern Oklahoma and up eastern Kansas & Nebraska. It has long flower stalks, the stems are green and smooth, not with purplish color. It bears large cut stipules at the bottom of the leaves. It spreads by self-sowing and not by underground stems (rhizomes) to form a nice groundcover that can be aggressive. It is sold by some native plant nurseries as New Moon Nursery in Woodtown, NJ and by Prairie Moon Nursery in Winona, MN.

I got a couple of these a few years ago. They have been spreading in my woodsy shade garden and are happy with no help from me. Leaf texture is a little thinner than common violets.
