Viola adunca

Early-blue violet, aka hooked-spur violet, is a diminutive groundcover capable of beautifying any corner of your garden. Each spring, its fragrant purple blooms won’t fail to delight - and can be a highly decorative addition to salads and baked goods. The foliage is composed of delicate heart-shaped leaves, often curled into cute little cups, and is a larval host plant to a number of endangered butterflies. 

  • Plant type/canopy layer: deciduous, perennial, herbaceous plant
  • Size at maturity: 6" tall, 0-8" wide, spreading nicely by seed
  • Light requirements: full sun to full shade
  • Moisture requirements: dry to moist soil
  • Bloom time: March - August (May - July in the Portland Metro area)
  • Growth rate/ease: fast growing, easy to grow
  • Wildlife support: flowers attract and provide nectar to adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest eating insects and is a caterpillar host plant/larval food source for native butterflies and moths
  • Native habitat/range: common growing in meadows, forest edges and along damp streambanks, at all elevations in nearly every county of the Pacific Northwest. Portland Plant List - yes. 
  • Special features & uses: groundcover; medicinally the leaves have long been used for cough and lung congestion, in poultices to relieve pain (note - only leave on for a few hours as they can cause skin irritation), and as a laxative; flowers are edible and can be used in salads, cakes decorations and medicinal teas; landscape uses include pollinator gardens, woodland gardens, meadowscapes; often a critical component of butterfly habitat restoration projects

Gardening with Early-blue Violet: This sweet, versatile little plant is exceptionally tolerant of whatever mother nature, or your garden, can throw at it - such as salt spray, seasonal drought, fluctuating moisture levels, and disturbance. But, as with many plants, it will perform best in mature soils with high organic matter. Its explosive seed pods will hurl seed an impressive distance for such a small stature. And, thanks to our friends the ants, new plants can even turn up in far-flung corners of your yard - or your neighbors - which is great news for the pollinators!

Dog loves it.
Color: Con Leche
I use this tugger for training only. I use it to ween off treats as a reward as a playful tool. He associates it with this and this way it retains high value.

Nice appearance, lacks sturdiness in the long run
Color: Raven
Decent quality on the surface, but likely to eventually break down with aggressive tuggers or strong jawed dogs. Best for medium drive pups at best.

does not last for a chew toy
Color: Raven
did not take very long for the dog to chew this up. Even wrote to Olly Dog about the toy and never heard back from them.

Excellent quality, larger than expected, machine washable
Color: Magnolia, Color: Magnolia
It's my fault for not realizing this toy is almost as long as my 7lbs papillon lol. He is not sure what to do with it right now but having a good time trying to figure it out. I thought he and his sister would love to play with it together, but it's much firmer than I expected. This is great news for larger dogs! It is a great quality toy. It's ethically made with recycled materials by a company in Colorado and manufactured in Vietnam. It's machine washable. It's a good value and should last for a long time (even with larger dogs). It's not too heavy, but due to its size, it may not be the greatest choice for toy dogs or small puppies. Oh, and it's bright colors and pattern look awesome. My little guy is an aggressive chewer for his size and is quite toy protective, so he has already claimed this as HIS as I'm writing this. He is having fun scratching the material it's made of, chewing it, rolling around with it, carrying it around, and keeping it away from his sister (also a papillon). So, we're happy over here.
