Virginia Bluebells
Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica)
Virginia Bluebells are a stunning, native perennial that will brighten any shade garden in early spring. With clusters of bell-shaped, blue flowers that bloom before most other spring perennials, they add a touch of elegance and color to woodlands and shaded areas. Known for their delicate beauty, these plants thrive in moist, well-drained soil and are perfect for creating naturalistic landscapes or pollinator-friendly spaces. The soft, green foliage turns yellow in the fall, creating seasonal interest throughout the year. Ideal for woodland gardens or along streams, Virginia Bluebells provide beauty, ecological benefits, and a connection to nature.
