Arrow-leaf Violet (Viola betonicifolia)

$10.00

🦋 Help bring a lost butterfly back

Arrow-leaf Violet is more than a groundcover, it’s a chance to restore something that’s missing.

This plant is the critical host species for the Australian Fritillary butterfly, a species that hasn’t been seen in over 20 years.

By planting it, you’re creating:

  • 🦋 Potential habitat for a butterfly that could return

  • 🐝 Nectar for small native bees

  • 🐦 Feeding space for insect-eating birds

  • 🦎 Shelter for lizards and ground-dwelling wildlife

  • 🐸 Cool, moist cover for frogs

This is one of the few plants where your garden can become part of a real conservation story.

🌿 Why this plant matters

  • 🦋 Essential host plant for a Critically Endangered butterfly

  • 🌸 Flowers most of the year (spring–autumn peak)

  • 🌱 Dense groundcover that builds habitat at soil level

  • 💧 Supports moisture-loving wildlife like frogs

💡 Planting this isn’t just gardening, it’s giving nature a second chance.

🌱 Where it grows best

  • 🌤 Shade to part shade

  • 🌱 Moist, rich, well-drained soil

  • 💧 Needs consistent moisture (don’t let it dry out)

👉 Perfect for shady, protected spots in the garden.

🪴 Perfect for

    • Simple planting guide
