Overview

Uvularia sessilifolia, commonly known as Sessile-leaf Bellwort, is a charming woodland perennial. It features delicate, drooping yellow bell-shaped flowers, each about 1 inch long, blooming in April-May. The plant reaches a modest height of 4-12 inches with 2-inch-wide lance-shaped leaves clasping directly to the stem. Prefers partial to full shade and well-drained soil.
