Hepatica seeds – giveaway – Botanically Inclined

As already mentioned, we didn’t enjoy a great flowering from Hepatica this spring, with some exceptions. Even those that flowered nicely produced very few seeds. The back and forth from very cold to warmth in April and part of May may be to blame.

Hepatica nobilis, in its various forms, continued to perform beautifully in the garden.
This spring emphasized more than ever, the importance of Hepatica foliage. We cannot always count on a good flowering but the foliage will never fail us, and remains attractive all year long: shiny, marbled, crinkled…the more unusual, the better.

Just like in case of Corydalis, I collected the few seeds from the garden because I like to sow them in a controlled way. There are no Hepatica seeds collected in the wild this year (a break is actually good).

I am organizing a giveaway* for the seeds I can share from the garden.
*I still have to put a symbolic price for the shopping cart to function and you’ll still have to pay the shipping (including glassines, bubble envelopes…).

I will finish tomorrow sorting and organizing the files and post the terms of ordering.
Generally speaking, the following will be available, in limited quantities.

H. nobilis multipetal (blue)
H. nobilis ‘Walter’ (multipetal pink)
