Choice selection with ruffled heavily marbled leaves and light pink flowers. You normally grow Hepatica for the early spring flowers and any foliar enhancement is pure gravy but with Cremar, flowers bow their heads to the majesty of the leaves. Quite a choice plant and does well in light shade with decent drainage.
Pink flowered version of the typically blue-flowered European species. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed pink! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
This coveted form has white flowers with a fully visible striking pink reverse to the backs of the petals. The leaves which follow bloom are impressive in their own right being quite large with rounded lobes and rich purple-maroon undersides. A plant of this in your garden will forever mark you as a discerning plant nerd. Ultimate hardiness is not known but ours has weathered 8F in our shade garden no problem.
To find fault with this bit of botanical jewelry would be to put on display character defects so profound that your friends would desert you in droves while making plans for your involuntary institutional incarceration. Perfect marbled leaves subtend appleblossom pink-white flowers of larger size than typical. Shade garden pizzazz.
Our own flowering divisions from a plant bequeathed us from the former garden of plant-obsessed Marian Raitz. This Japanese selection is a fully pink double and double means the flowers last longer than the typical single fertile flowers. Ideal for cool greenhouse pot culture or mild gardens.
Very choice selection not often available but we have some very nice plants. This has soft blue flowers in profusion during those often grim early spring days. This is an overachiever in the shade garden as it is a good grower and will make a sizable clump which just means lots more flowers. It all works out nicely.
Ashwood Nursery's strain of Severin Schlyter's compact 'Bibo' selection. Strain refers to seedlings grown from seed collected from the clone 'Bibo' which is indicated by the ex. Strictly speaking, only divisions and not seedlings can be called 'Bibo' so in this case, keep the ex!
These were shared with us by Kelly's mentor and fair to say, hero, the late Steve Doonan of Grand Ridge Nursery. A superb selection with petaloid stamens giving this a robust doubled appearance. Always hard to come by and much sought after, this will in time make a nice carpet of ostentation of which we were at first embarrassed by our display of excess but we have managed to come to terms with it. These are multi-eyed divisions potted this winter so there won't be much for roots until they start growing this spring but will be nice plants. We would like to save them until they are fully rooted out but they always sell here before that happens so we have listed them with the root caveat.
The typically blue-flowered European species but from a great source. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed blue! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
This is just a good clean form we have bulked over the years by patient, ever so patient, year after year, division. Clear white flowers with the subtle pop of red anthers and a marbled leaf to boot. This all combines in a presentation of exquisite subtlety that propels you back via state-induced memory to past intersections with grace and beauty.
An English selection of a North American species, shared with us by our dear friend and renowned Hepatica grower, breeder, and expert, John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries. It is impossible to think of John without a liberal sprinkling of "exquisite" permeating the thought train and this includes reflections on Hepatica americana 'Ashwood Marble'. The trilobed rounded leaves are exquisitely (see how that happens?) patterned with a base color of greenish pewter divided by muted chocolate-purple ragged peninsulas. Delightfully small-scale, the petite soft lavender flowers with white anthers are profusely borne. Great under deciduous trees and the species is also found on shaded rock outcrops in the wild. John's book "My World of Hepaticas", is simply put, exquisite.
Fabulous hybrid Hepatica that in time will form mats of great lobed foliage with loads of light medium blue flowers in early spring. A durable plant with few if any faults. Great with Ranunculus ficaria and Hellebores.
Choice Romanian species with evergreen leaves and blue flowers. This spreads by creeping rhizomes and in time, you can divide and spread about the garden or dangle as elite trade bait among your gardening friends. Grown from seed given us by our friend and Hepatica King, John Massey.
Lavender flowered version of the typically blue-flowered European species. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed lavender! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
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.
White flowered version of the typically blue-flowered European species. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed white! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
Purple flowered version of the typically blue-flowered European species. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed purple! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
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.
While the flowers are a charming mix of pinks, whites, and indigo blues, the leaves are the real show here, with a darkly lustrous appeal. Each leaf presents a uniquely marbled patterning of dark olive green and is finely haired giving it a decidedly solid and mature appearance. Would play well off of some of the more delicately and brightly silver foliaged varieties on offer.
