Comments

It is easy to see why Virginia Bluebells is a favorite woodland wildflower. The pastel colors of the flowers and foliage are soft and soothing. Some plants produce mature flowers that are white or pink. There are other Mertensia spp. in the United States with a similar appearance, but they occur north or west of Illinois. They have smaller flowers and pubescent foliage.
