Hepatica nobilis - 2026

Hepatica nobilis is a delicate, early-flowering perennial known for its charming star-shaped blooms and finely textured foliage. Its dainty flowers, typically appearing in shades of blue, pink, or white, rise above basal clumps of lobed, evergreen leaves in late winter to early spring, providing one of the first bursts of colour in woodland or shaded garden areas. The plant’s compact habit and attractive foliage make it ideal for naturalistic borders, rockeries, or underplanting shrubs and trees.

Thriving in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil rich in humus, Hepatica nobilis is low-maintenance and hardy once established. The flowers attract early-season pollinators, supporting biodiversity in the garden. Its combination of delicate spring blooms, evergreen foliage, and tolerance of shaded conditions make it a reliable and charming addition to woodland-style or shaded plantings.
