Liver Leaf Plant

The charming woodland perennial Hepatica (Liverleaf) (genus Hepatica) features early-spring blooms in delicate shades of blue, pink, violet or white, followed by attractive three-lobed basal leaves that often persist through winter. These low-mounded plants thrive in Canadian gardens when planted in part-shade to full-shade, in humus-rich, well-drained soil (often moderately alkaline) and protected from harsh afternoon sun. A valuable addition beneath deciduous trees, on woodland slopes or rock garden edges, they reward gardeners with one of the first floral displays of the year and minimal maintenance thereafter.
