One of springs earliest woodland wildflowers, and always considered one of the most beautiful, Hepatica is quite common in eastern woodlands. The blooms vary dramatically in color, and range from lavender to white to (rarely) pink. Some even take on a picotee coloring, with stunning white-edged purplish petals. Hepaticas are usually the very welcome first color in the spring woods, blooming through the leaf litter long before trees leaf out. Each plant is approximately the size of a healthy African violet, and they spread quite rapidly. An easy-to-grow must-have species for all shady gardens.

"I planted 6 "bare root" hepatica in the shade of a young serviceberry tree. The roots arrived with anemic leaves and flowers, bundled together by rubber bands in dried out peat. Not how I would care for this delicate plant. I will keep a careful eye on them with fingers crossed that some green leaves will emerge to replace the white ones."
"Was startin a small native bed with some shade plants. . . I amended soil with lots of organic material and ensured drainage and followed planting instructions very exactly, also covered with hardware cloth to prevent critters from getting them, but only one sprouted."
"One of three bare root sprouted. Looking forward to seeing if it returns next year - and flowers."
"I planted them in pots so that I could protect them in winter. It should have worked and I don't know what I did wrong. Great soil, watered correctly. I'm at a loss as to what happened."
"The plants were well packaged, healthy, and clearly identified. They are happily in the soil and I look forward to seeing how they do next season."
"I only wish…. . (thinking I was getting one of each of their three colors since they were sold in threes…. ) ALL three of mine were white. A little disappointing."
"Would have looked great in a woodland, shaded setting if it had ever grown."
"I'm not sure if it was me or the plants, but they did not do very well. Out of three, only one survived and it has now died. We will see if they make a return next spring"
"Maybe this plant and I could have had a long lasting relationship. But alas I was sadden to watch her demise so quickly. Perhaps the over-whelming heat and just being planted at the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Unfortunately this did not grow. If I ever think to purchase the Hepatica again. I will try it in a pot."
