Mertensia virginica
A loose, upright, bulbous perennial for woodlands with violet-blue, bellshaped, nodding flowers from April to May. The flowers are held on 50cm tall stems and open from pink buds, which give the flowers a pink hue, quickly turning blue when fully opened. Best planted in woodland gardens, under deciduous shrubs, as the leaves die back during the height of summer.
Plant in humus-rich soil in semi-shade or sun.
