Mertensia virginica - Virginia Bluebells

Virginia Bluebells burst onto the scene in early spring with clusters of pink buds that open into glowing blue, bell-shaped flowers. This native beauty thrives in shady, moist spots and goes dormant by summer. Perfect for planting alongside later-season companions. A pollinator favorite and an early sign that spring has truly arrived!
