Wild Violet is a small perennial weed. It is a very aggressive weed and can crowd out lawn areas very quickly. Wild Violet is commonly found in many Northern regions of the U.S.
Wild violets grow in thick clumps that crowd out grass and other plants. If you live in the Northeast, the Great Lakes region, or the Northwest, you might see them dominating the damp, shady spots in your yard. Their flowers range in color from deep purple to white, and bloom from April to June. Here are some tips on how keep these weeds out.
Wild violets are tough. Your treatment for them is Ortho® MAX™ Poison Ivy & Tough Brush Killer Concentrate. You'll get your best results if you apply it in the spring, when weeds are actively growing. Another treatment option is to use a product that contains glyphosate, such as Roundup® Weed & Grass Killer. With either treatment, be careful to shield the plants you like when you apply.
Wild violets are stubborn, and won't give up easily. Wilting or other symptoms will occur in 2 to 6 weeks. You may have to reapply in 2 to 3 weeks if necessary. Just remember that persistence pays off when dealing with these weeds.
