Is there any chance of growing violets in the Tampa, FL area? I moved here several years ago from Louisiana and previously Minnesota. I brought some much loved violets (don't know the names) with me - lavender, white and some yellow native ones found in LA. They have all gradually died, even though I planted them in the shade. I have mostly given up but found this forum and am wondering if there is any hope left. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Great conversation here. No progress on our mystery friend but I'll keep an eye and see what develops. For those of you interested in native flowers I have a photo blog with tons of photos of what's growing in my tiny woods. Northern Natives

If you want to add lots of yellow add some annuals via seed to naturalize, you will have reliable, abundant swaths of yellow every summer and some in spring, more than you can ever hope for with just perennials. Yellow is more common summer through fall in nature & I let nature dictate the colors since it goes with the light and look of the seasons. Some heavy blooming yellow annuals are: California poppy (early), Helenium amarum, Bidens polylepis, Lesquerella gordonii aka Gordon's bladderpod (very early). Plains coreopsis, Rudbeckia hirta and Thelesperma filifolium (Greenthread), Cowpen Daisy. Add in Lazy Daisy (white), Horsemint (purple) and annual Gaillardia and you will add some other color and lots of easy bloom that will naturalize and come back reliably each year. Some of my gaillardia bloom solid yellow, some solid red but most are red flowers with yellow borders. Two good yellow perennials: Missouri primrose, blooms early and keeps going as long as there is moisture, & Englemanni pinnatifida. If I see something nice along the roadside, I often make a mental note and come back later for seed.
