Design with this plant

Overview

Pennywort, or Hepatica nobilis, is an enchanting early-spring bloomer. This petite perennial reaches about 4 to 6 inches in height, boasting delicate blue, purple, or white flowers, each adorned by three lobed, leather-like leaves. Thriving in partial to full shade, it demands well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A low-maintenance groundcover, it adds a splash of color in woodland settings or shaded rock gardens. Hardy in zones 3 to 8.
