Conical-leaf violet (Viola rossii)

Conical-leaf violet

Conical-leaf violet is a charming perennial herb with heart-shaped leaves and bright yellow flowers. Its petals, often kissed with delicate purple lines, serve as nectar guides for pollinators. Conical-leaf violet thrives in moist, well-drained soil, typically found in alpine meadows or lightly wooded areas where sunlight dapples through. This plant's modest size belies its hardiness, enabling it to withstand cooler mountain climates.
