Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County
No Need to W**d!
Those violets that pop up in your yard - leave them!

Many consider them a w**d, but they are native to NJ, they are our state flower, they are an important spring nectar source for native bees, and they are a host plant for fritillary butterfly caterpillars.

For more information check out the Jersey Friendly Yards webpage about violets:
