Overview
Hepatica `Millstream Merlin` is thought to be a cross between H. transsilvanica and H. americana, raised by H. Lincoln Foster, Connecticut.The long lasting, intense purple blue flowers are irregularly semi double, with no stamens, they also have a tendency to rebloom, an exceptional hepatica. Height 15cm.
Hepatica ‘Millstream Merlin’ 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. Height: 15cm.
Hepatica ‘Millstream Merlin’ can also be grown in an alpine house where it can flower to perfection.
