Viola collina

Viola collina, a perennial in the Violaceae family, is native to regions including Afghanistan, Altay, Austria, and Belarus. This plant thrives in moist environments with light or partial sun exposure and can be found growing in various soil types—light (sandy), medium, and heavy (clay).
