Hepatica

One of the Eastern US native Hepatica species that can be found plastered to mossy boulders in the woods providing some of the earliest harbingers of the Spring flower season. Classic liverspotted leaves and bright flowers somewhere on the spectrum of indigo, pink, and white. Like a humusy shelted location and also take well to pot culture.

This delightful hybrid Hepatica selection originates from Connecticut grower Lincoln Foster and more than keeps up with even the best of those produced by the British Hepatica elite. Impossibly rich purple flowers which do away with the distraction of stamens in favor of variably semi-double petals and a bright yellow button of stigmas. 

Some of us are foliage fanatics, while others live and die by the flower, but I'm sure most if not all will agree, both is always better. This is one for those who don't like to make sacrifices, or simply have an appreciation for the best of both worlds. This species and variety is already a steadfast winner but these have been specially selected to offer both deeply colored flowers and attractive leaf patterning.
