The Purple Violet is native to eastern North America and is the provincial flower of New Brunswick, in Canada’s Maritime region.

This low-growing leafy beauty produces a fruit “capsule” that splits into three sections at maturity to release numerous small seeds.

The Purple Violet’s dark violet colours are particularly striking when placed near a bright white trellis or fence.

This sock showcases the vibrant juxtaposition of dark violet and bright white. Only a small amount of the contrasting yard will be required.
