Re: Hepatica was: drought tolerant
Hello Marge,
I saw where Duncan sent you some addresses to take a look at. Hope you
were able to locate what you needed. Just in case, I did take a look through
my material I have saved from the American Hepatica Assoc. Did find a small
reference to your H. asiatica as coming from islands off the Korean
mainland. "Small plant with very beautiful marbled leaves which roll up in
the winter, and with blue, white or pink blossoms of about 2 cm diameter on
delicate stems."
Just a guess on my part, but I would give well drained as much of the
islands there are volcanic. Pretty decent amount of shade as the islands are
heavily wooded. With you in zone 7 there should be no problem on cold
hardiness. They do get light frosts and some snow in that region.
I did not see it listed in the Asatica catalog from Barry this year.
have you contacted him?
