Hepatica Plant - Acutiloba Americana

Hepatica is an attractive perennial wildflower that blooms early in the spring and needs little attention. Ideal for woodland gardens or shady spaces, it adds sophistication and unobtrusive beauty to naturalized landscapes.

It is extremely easy to plant and maintain, which makes it a fabulous plant for any beginner gardener. It is preferentially shade-tolerant, preferring humus-rich, well-drained soil. Sow by loosening the soil, burying the roots just below the surface, covering the plant lightly with soil, and watering thoroughly. It needs minimal upkeep once planted, aside from occasional irrigation when dry and incorporating organic mulch to keep moisture in and enrich the soil.

Early in the spring, the flowers are often seen before other plants come into bloom from their winter slumber. Its little star-shaped flowers, which vary in color from white and pale pink to lavender and blue, provide an attractive splash of color. The blooms last several weeks and are followed by shiny, lobed green leaves that recur throughout the growing season. The foliage can turn bronze or red in autumn before dying back for the winter.

It spreads in dense clumps and grows 6-12 inches tall, making it suitable for borders, rock gardens, or woodland ground cover. As a perennial, it blooms year after year and brings long-lasting beautification with very little work.

Hepatica is carefully planted and shipped at TN Nursery as healthy, bare-root specimens ready for planting. These hardy plants spread quickly, giving you magical flowers and leaves season after season. Plant It in your garden and be sure of its timeless appeal for years!
