Quackin Grass Nursery

Hepatica nobilis "pastel pink to white" - The flowers are a delight, endearing budding and initially opening in pastel pink, maturing white.  These cropped up in a batch of "violet / purple shades" and are closer in look to the wild species. Each consists of 6 rounded petals with a candelabra of white anthers surrounding the yellow pistil at the heart. This charming virtually evergreen woodlander sports tri-lobed leaves of good substance which implies its common monikers of Liver Leaf, Liverleaf and Liverwort (the latter of which is a name I have always associated with a very primitive weed that's an issue in potted stock here - ah, the discrepancy of common names; but I digress); all are coarse names for a lovely, elfin species. Three-lobed leaves can sometimes emerge mottled in bronze and there has been some selection effected that can be had in some offerings. These are in a mix of green to greens with bronze-maroon on the leaf. Lobes sometimes come to a blunt point but are also sometimes rounded becoming infused with bronze-purple when temperatures drop and daylight diminishes. Part to dappled shade in fertile, draining ground.
