Noteworthy Characteristics of Mertensia Virginica

When the Virginia bluebell's leaves initially emerge, they are deep purple and fade into lush green. The growth of gently sloping flowers quickly follows the stems that erupt with pastel blooms.

These flowers begin as a soft pink, change to purple, and finally bloom into a gorgeous, powdery sky blue. Blue is the rarest color in nature – stun your friends when they visit! Some varieties may include white.

As spring ephemerals, Virginia Bluebell bloom in the springtime and then disappear for the rest of the season. Interplant with Solomon’s seal or ferns to reduce the empty spaces left behind when the leaves die back.
