Hepatica nobilis

Hepatica nobilis: Formerly Hepatica nobilis (the name we still use here at TN Nursery), Hepatica acutiloba, aka liverwort or liverleaf, is a native woodland flower from the Eastern forests of North America.

Hepatica nobilis is an easy-growing species closely related to the buttercup. It flourishes in the partial shade of fully shaded locations and prefers to take root in rich soil, complete with organic matter. Although it can tolerate short drought spells, it loves moisture--peat moss makes an excellent companion plant to minimize your work at meeting these requirements.

If you recreate the woodland environment for this darling species, your work will be minimal--just provide an occasional watering during the hottest periods of the year.

The Graceful Woodland Charm of Hepatica nobilis

Liverleaf is a shorter plant reaching a mature height of around twelve inches. These plants grow in attractive clumps that give them a thick, lush look.

The stems are dark green and upright. Emerald green leaves are oval with a pronounced tip and grow in threes. They stay green from spring until autumn and turn an attractive amber or red in the fall.

The flowers are white with six or more oval petals that form a shallow cup shape. Each fresh white blossom is tiny--under an inch wide. The flowers' centers are a fresh and vibrant hue of spring green. They are a welcome sight, awakening early and brightening your day during the cold spring weather.

Where to Plant Liverwort Plant

Hepatica nobilis needs very little sunshine to give you a profuse, breathtaking wash of bright springtime color.

Plant it in large clusters in shady flower beds, as an early spring border planting, or near a shady water garden. Even after the dainty flowers make their exit, once the temperatures warm up for the growing season, you will have the rich green foliage to enjoy all season long.

These are beautiful plants that once grew all over New Jersey, however lately not so much due to development. These roots arrived in top shape and were planted alongside the ones ordered last year, which have grown very well and are healthy and thriving. I recommend Tenn. Wholesale to anyone interested in wildflowers or and other product these folks offer. Top notch sellers!!
