The Field Pansy is not a native wildflower but is well-established. The leaves and flowers appear on the same stalk. The flowers are whitish or pale blue and the lower petals are veined. The small leaves are spoon-shaped with very large, lobed blunt-tipped stipules. It grows to a height of 3 to 8 inches. It is found in fields, roadsides, and stream banks. It blooms during April and May.
The Field Pansy is very common in the Clinch Mountain area.
