VIRGINIA BLUEBELLS (Mertensia Virginica)

Update! Virginia Bluebell roots are available again, finally.

I can ship now. For those who have already written asking about availability of Bluebells, I’ll be reaching out.

Buy 1 bag (20 roots) for $25
Buy 2 bags (40 roots) for $45
Buy 3 bags (60 roots) for $60
Limit 3 bags.

Plus actual shipping approx $7 for 2 day Priority Mail. Live roots need to ship quickly, they should not sit around for days in trucks and warehouses.

1. These native beauties are planted from November through March as long as the soil can be worked.

3. They like shady locations in dappled light like in between deciduous trees or at the edge of woodlands.

3. They are hardy, and native to Virginia, so if they like the location, they’ll flourish.

4. I recommend planting Virginia Bluebells in groups of 3-5 roots in different locations to maximize the chance of establishing.

5. Dig a trench about 3 inches deep, lay the root horizontally in the trench with the growth tip tilted slightly up so it’s about 2 inches below the soil surface.

6. Bluebells are ephemeral plants they put up a couple of bright green leaves in early Spring.. then a flowering stalk with rose-lavender buds and then they open to the most beautiful blue. They will last quite a few days if it stays cool.

7. Then as it warms up, the bright green leaves die down completely… LEAVING NO TRACE at all. It’s like you dreamed them. They vanish in the heat of summer…hence Ephemeral. I’d add ethereal to that description.

8. Mark the spot and be careful not to dig nearby. Let the roots stay undisturbed, and they’ll reward you with a clump of plants over time.

9. Once these beautiful flowers were all all over Virginia… Thomas Jefferson wrote of them with awe and wonder….but loss of woodland, development etc has destroyed their habitat.

10. We can still see stands of bluebells here and there; but it’s worthwhile to try to re-establish small stands in our shade gardens and patches of remaining woodlands.

Spring Flowers…. Can’t wait for the real thing. Just 3 months until I see the tulips in bloom. Sooner than that for Cherry blossoms, crocus and hyacinths. Hurry up, Spring!

Meanwhile these prints are a good way to banish those dreary winter blues. 😊
