Anemone americana | Round-lobed Hepatica

Round-lobed liverleaf is a spring wildflower that can be found in woodlands across much of eastern North America. The charming, delicate blooms are some of the first to emerge, often peeping out in March in southern parts of their range. Flowers are nyctinastic, meaning they close at night or in response to rain. 

For best bloom, grow in partial shade. Consistently moist, well-drained soil required. Will self-seed when happy.
