Hepatica japonica Tokushima

Easy to grow in a moist but well drained soil with shade, particularly in summer as the sun will scorch the leaves. The foliage is the typical three lobed affair and held on wiry petioles all originating from a central point. The flowers are the obvious attraction and these plants have a secure following in the plant world with more and more new hybrids coming along every day.

  The picture here does not do this plant justice! It is a very deep red and is actually our deepest purple/red coloured hepatica, we don't believe you will find a darker coloured flower.
