hepatica

Overview

Hepatica (Hepatica transsilvanica) is a species of perennial flowering herb native to the mountains of southeastern Europe. It is most easily identified by its three-lobed leaves and cheerful purple and white daisy-like flowers that bloom in the spring. The plant is highly valued in gardening circles for its ability to withstand cold climates and its wide range of insects it attracts - such as butterflies and moths. Its taproot makes it very difficult to transplant, meaning it is usually best started from seeds. However, its resilience and tenacity make it a popular garden centerpiece.
