Liverwort Hepatica Details

Liverwort Plant For Sale

Liverwort plant, also called hepatica, is a uniquely pleasant native flower, perfect for woodland gardens. Dark‑green, tri‑lobed foliage—its namesake feature—makes the tiny purple blossoms stand out in shady nooks. This perennial is a woody native that is low-maintenance and disease and pest-resistant.

Hepatica Plant Details

Light Requirement: Shade
Water Needs: Moist
Height: 6 in
Spread: 8 in
Growth Rate: Slow
Bloom Time: Spring
Flower Color: Purple
Wildlife Value: Attracts bees


Landscape Uses and Maintenance

Hepatica adds soft, delicate charm year after year with star‑shaped flowers that range from white and purple to blue. A spring ephemeral, it delights gardeners of every experience level thanks to its low‑maintenance nature. Raise it up in rock or woodland gardens so the blooms are at eye level for full appreciation.

In the wild, Liverwort Plant grows in leaf‑litter pockets at the bases of forest boulders. Mimic those conditions by providing full to partial shade and well‑drained soil rich in organic matter—leaf mold, humus, or compost all work well. Water regularly during establishment, but avoid waterlogging; yellow leaves signal excess moisture.

Once settled, this plant requires very little care and is naturally avoided by deer, rabbits, and squirrels—perfect for critter‑prone gardens.

Noteworthy Traits of Hepatica

Hairy stems on the Liverwort plant support the delicate blossoms as they emerge, while butterflies, bees, and other pollinators eagerly visit. Hepatica’s resilient charm and woodland grace make it a must‑have for shaded gardens.


Charming Early Blooms

Hepatica produces delicate, star-shaped flowers that bring early spring color to your garden. Their subtle beauty is a welcome sight after winter.

Shade Tolerant

This plant thrives in shady or woodland conditions, making it an ideal choice for under-tree plantings or low-light garden areas.


Evergreen Foliage

Hepatica features attractive evergreen leaves that provide year-round interest, even when the plant isn’t in bloom.

They survived...

I bought these last spring, and they struggled their way through the summer. They **** looked particularly healthy, and they **** come with planting or care instructions, but they're coming back to life this spring! They were purple in the product photo, but mine are white.

The Liverwort isn’t growing as quickly as I’d hoped. It’s alive and green but taking its sweet time to fill the space.

Average but Acceptable

Arrived in decent shape but looked a little tired at first. It’s slowly bouncing back now, though not very fast.

Still Waiting on Growth

The plant seems healthy enough, just hasn’t spread much yet. It may take another season to show its full beauty.

Nice Plant but Took Time to Adjust

The Liverwort plant arrived healthy, but it took a while to settle in. It’s growing slowly, and I was hoping for quicker coverage. Still, it looks interesting in the shade.

Unique but Delicate

I like the unusual look of the Liverwort, but it seems a bit sensitive to heat. Works better in moist spots. Decent plant overall but not my favorite from TN Nursery.

A generous serving of hepatica and bloodroot.

More than the number of plants I had ordered. They arrived about two weeks later, bare roots wrapped in damp paper. I planted the roots immediately in part of my yard where other woodland wildflowers are growing. Looking forward to what comes up next spring.
