“Violets are excellent pollinator plants. They are visited by a wide range of species, including solitary bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Beyond providing valuable nectar to these pollinators in early spring, violets also act as a larval food source for fritillary butterflies. Similar to the relationship between monarch butterflies and milkweed plants, fritillaries will only lay their eggs on violets. Violets are also host plants for the mining bee Andrena violae, a specialist that only visits violets.” —https://holdenfg.org
