Description
The seeds were collected from plants with flowers in blue shades, and one can get very nice surprises when the seedlings flower.
Hepatica americana remains my favorite wildflower for shady areas: silky haired stems appear in early spring bearing white or blue flowers, followed by fuzzy new leaves with a heart shaped base and rounded lobes, which became leathery green afterwards and last throughout the winter.
Wonderful as a specimen that will increase in size with age or even more in groups, in part shade/dry to moist locations. It will do particularly well under dry shade conditions found under mature trees after it gets established; it can also be grown in containers.
Germination: please follow the instructions provided when purchasing seeds. Even when sown fresh, some of the seeds will germinate in the second year after sowing.
