Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ohhhh, the Hepaticas, probably my favorite early Spring flowers, very early, very robust, yet at the same time very delicate. The first reminders of what is to come in the woods and meadows.
Whenever a group of plants arrives the nursery, we tend to pick through it, pulling out the very best forms to keep a special eye on. This is a group of some of the nicest of this species we've had. Mostly some very lovely blues, but also whites and pinks, all large flowered and floriferous. Hepatica are some of the earliest blooming and most beautiful of the native Woodland wildflowers in the Eastern US, and deserve to be more widely grown. Zone 4
