This shy, solitary violet is found in the barren soils of upland woods and dry, sunny clearings throughout much of the Eastern United States. Plants were first sent to Europe during the 1750s and named by Linnaeus. Eighteenth-century Virginia gardener Jean Skipwith was likely referring to this charming species as the “cut-leaved” wild violet “with a pansy flower” that she grew among her sweet-scented violets at Prestwould. J. E. Teschemacher, writing in the Horticultural Register (1835), recommended Viola pedata for rock gardens.
