Hepatica plants, more commonly referred to as liverwort, are members of the buttercup family and are native to North America, Europe, and Asia. Their common name refers to how their leaves resemble the human liver. When buds begin to blossom in the spring, liverwort is one of the more recognizable wildflowers and is considered to be a signature wildflower.


The Gorgeous Flowers Of Hepatica Plant


Each flower grows from one individual stem and can contain anywhere from 6 to 20 petals, depending on the variety. Flowers are usually lavender, sometimes pink. White variations of the flower are typically seen in the southern United States. When blooming, the Hepatica Plant gives off a pleasant scent described as reminiscent of spring. In terms of leaves, they are typically dark green and possess tiny little hairs that are soft to the touch. During winter, the leaves begin to turn much darker.

Hepatica Plant Loves Shade


As it is mostly seen in damp, heavily forested areas in the wild, similar conditions are best when growing it in a garden setting. It can be transplanted rather easily, but it's best to leave it relatively undisturbed in a shady spot under trees, where the soil is rich with nutrients. Slightly acidic soil with proper drainage is preferable, although it is well-known for its ability to withstand overly wet conditions better than most flowers.

Attract Pollinators With Hepatica Plant


Hepatica plants are self-pollinating perennials. Even though they might not be needed, flowers are a great way to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees to a garden setting and other animal life.

Off to a great start!

I’m sad to say that my first order of the hepatica plant, I believe to be dead only due to my lack of attention to its preferred habitat. However, my second order arrived and actually had leaves on them still and they are off to a great start! I’m excited to see the flowers!!
