They're exceptionally long flowering, long lived and very easy to grow. The genus Hepatica is a member of the Ranunculaceae family, the same family as Actaea, Cimicifuga, Helleborus and Thalictrum, et al. Culture is super easy as in nature they grow in woodland conditions, typically in rich, but well drained soil.
What conditions do Hepaticas like?
It's important to replicate the conditions that hepaticas enjoy in their natural habitat. Tolerant of both acidic and alkaline conditions, they should be planted on a sunny, well-drained slope in a light 'fluffy' fertile soil that is rich in leaf mould with plenty of rapidly draining moisture in Spring.
