Overview
We are trying to breed free flowering hybrids of H. transsilvanica. Most of these hybrids are H. transsilvanica x H. americana var. acuta . We have also crossed H. transsilvanica with H. insularis. The flowers and foliage are very much the same as H. transsilvanica but, they are more vigorous with slightly longer flowering stems and more free flowering. These hybrids can have either blue or white flowers, they are more robust and vigorous than H. nobilis, spreading by creeping rhizomes. Flowering from February to March. Height: 15cm

European hepaticas should be planted on a cool, well-drained slope in a light ‘fluffy’ soil rich in leaf mould. It is essential that they are exposed to early spring sunshine, but they must receive plenty of shade immediately after flowering and especially during the heat of the summer. They will thrive under deciduous trees and shrubs or in crevices in the rock garden, performing best where there is good humidity. They respond well to a top-dressing of leaf-mould in autumn and an annual feed of fish, blood and bone in late winter. Remove old leaves just before flowering.
Full cultural instructions will be sent with every order.
