A welcomed harbinger of spring, Hepatica nobilis var. acuta (Sharp-Lobed Hepatica) is a low-growing semi-evergreen perennial boasting charming white, pink or purple flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), with conspicuous white stamens in early to mid-spring. The dainty flowers appear before the new leaves on fuzzy reddish stems. They open their fullest on sunny days and stay open for about 2-3 weeks. Small bees collect pollen from the flowers, while Syrphid flies and other flies feed on the pollen. The leathery leaves are three-lobed, pointed, and sometimes evergreen until the following spring. Native to eastern North America, Sharp-Lobed Hepatica is a popular woodland perennial, bursting with color when it is most needed, a jewel in the stark landscape. A wonderful little plant that will warm your heart. Great for a woodland or shady rock garden.
