Pink buds open to sky-blue trumpet flowers in early spring, creating a magical woodland effect. This ephemeral native plant goes dormant in summer, making room for other shade-loving perennials.

Plant Virginia Bluebells in early spring or fall in a location with partial to full shade. Choose moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Fertilize lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming to ensure energy storage for the next season.
