How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
18-24" tall x 18-24" wide, this beautiful member of the Borage family is a wild gardeners dream. It has beautiful flowers with pastel pink buds that open into true blue that attract bees and butterflies. It spreads, but not too quickly. The plant increases in size each year with almost no care. And its dependably hardy from zones 3 to 8. A great plant for spring bloom in shade. It likes moisture, and will do fine even in deep shade. (Deciduous, not evergreen.)
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"I was excited for these. Planted 3 bare roots last year. None of them have come up."
"This has been a spectacular success. Planted in partial shade in pretty marginal soil. But each year they come back more robust, and bloom like you wouldn't believe. They're the perfect spring ephemeral."
"I ordered several Woodland bare roots this year and broke it down to a science when planting to try to get best success and maximal beauty. Not a single one sprouted. They were also TEENY-TINY upon arrival. None of the native woodland wildflowers I have purchased from A. M have done very well. All of the roots just seemed tiny and weak to me. . . I am sad because I was really looking foward to a colorful spring shade garden this spring. Not to mention the amount of $$$ for some of this stuff."
"It says Virginia Bluebells can be grown in partial shade but I was only able to get 1 to grow & was short lived."
"The planting arrived well packed and healthy. It's having adjustment issues but alive. I hope it covers what I planned and thrives"
"These Flowers looked lovely in the picture. I planted them last fall as directed. Unfortunately they did not come up. I'm in Colorado basically Zone 4 where I live, although when I put my zip code in the "zone Finder" it always says zone 5"
"Well established by second year, multiplying. Beautiful."
"When these arrived as bulbs, I planted immediately. They began to lead out… but shortly after stopped and hasn't grown since. A few of the blurbs never emerged."
"I am using the Virginia Bluebells and other plants to convert my garden from lawn and non-native plants to mostly natives (and very little grass). : )"
"I planted the Virginia bluebells in a shady area. The first shipment of rhizomes did not grow, and when I contacted customer service, a replacement was immediately shipped. The second shipment grew within a few days, and lovely green leaves adorned the space. Then, we had issues with critters digging them up. Next year I may try again and protect them with cages, because who doesn't want Virginia bluebells? The bottom line is that excellent customer service ranks high on my list, and that is what I received."
