Description
Mertensia Virginica Virginia Bluebells is a perennial plant that prefers partial shade to full shade. Its smooth, oval, bluish-green leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the loose, terminal clusters of pendulous, trumpet-shaped, blue flowers that bloom in early spring. The flowers open from pink buds, emerging with a pinkish shade before turning blue. This plant is suitable for mass plantings, shade plantings, borders, and rock landscapes. Virginia Bluebells thrives in average, medium, well-drained soils and has an erect, clump-forming growth habit.
