This Hepatica is one for the collector. A compact evergreen perennial form, which is smaller and grows more slowly than H. japonica var. nipponica f. magna.

Their flowers have more slender sepals and fewer stamens and pistils than H. japonica var. nipponica f. magna. Predominately ivory-white with the occasional pale pink, dark purple or red and very rarely, pale yellow. Flowering from March to April in the wild.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
