Which of your violet colors do you like the most?

probably the white ones with the blue dots on them. but they are in a few drifts in various places.

we have protected woodlands around our 3 acre property where many of these roam. of course some drift into our lawn area. As I am not a person who demands a perfect green grass yard but enjoys drifts of interesting things such as violets or mossy area I let it all be. In normal grass cutting they may be clipped.

Wild violets are a shade invasive here and are hard to control once established.

its fine with us to have many little ones roaming about. Lots of lawn area. not an issue. Not one that likes the perfect lawn. also have some interesting color mosses here and there.

On Sunday a man at church inquired how could a person get rid of violets from his yard? Could he use a weed killer?
