Virginia Bluebells

Mertensia virginica
Virginia bluebells are a delightful spring wildflower with soft, cool green foliage and two-toned pink and blue flowers. They form dense colonies in wooded areas in early spring. Loads of two-toned bell-shaped flowers hang down from the stems in large clusters. Flower buds are pink and turn lavender-blue as they age. Plants spread by seedlings and, over time, will colonize a large area that is to their liking. Foliage yellows and disappears after plants quit flowering.
