Uvularia grandiflora

Plant Description

This bellwort is a clumping perennial wildflower found in wooded coves throughout all of eastern North America. Late spring flowers nod at the ends of 1 1/5' stalks and are yellow-green, and large, with twisted, dangling petals. The soft yellow flowers go nicely with the blue-green foliage that resembles Solomon's seal. Large-flowered bellwort is not fast growing. Grow it in shade to dappled sunlight with average soil moisture. Once established, this bellwort is drought tolerant, disease and pest resistant, and very easy to grow.
