Occurring across much of Western North America, the canary violet grows up to a diminutive size of about 6-inches in height, bearing flowers in mid-spring. This is typically a full sun or dappled shade plant, and one with a broad range of soil adaptability – finding home in damp grassy meadows as well as in dry rocky outcroppings, -- in both cases benefiting from sites that are not overwhelmed by taller invasive grasses.

The canary violet is a likely host plant for various elusive butterflies, especially many species of western Fritillaries, such as the Pacific fritillary (Boloria epithore), the variegated fritillary (Euptoieta claudia), the Egleis fritillary (Speyeria egleis), the Zerene Fritillary (Speyeria zerene), and several others.
