Distribution
L. violacea is found in the eastern half of the United States excluding Florida, as well as the Ontario region of Canada.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
L. violacea proliferates in woodlands and woodland borders[2], and predominantly in lowland sites.[3] Specimens have been collected from limestone outcrop, second growth of black oak area, cedar bluff woods, sandy soil of upland oak-hickory forest, open oak woods, sandstone quarry, shaded roadside, river bank, old field scattered with trees, bluff above floodplain, burned over pine region with clay soil, and bottomland hardwood.[4]
Phenology
L. violacea has been observed to flower from July through September and fruit from August to November.[2]
