That shouldn't be too difficult. The root ball must be tiny.

What an amazing website. I spent ages on it today. Those so, so pretty
Hepaticas, but the price of some of them. He doesn't actually give a price
for the Japanese ones, so we can imagine how expensive they are. Mind you,
I wonder about the affect of clever photography. Would those same flowers
have the same impact in the ground as they do being photographed singly with
a suitable background. But even if they don't look so good in the ground,
they are obviously the sort of flower that it's worth getting down on your
hands and knees to have a better look at.
I tried also to get onto the rhs plantfinder website this morning, but no
success. I'll try again some other time. I'm glad you explained why you
like the site so much. I couldn't imagine you buying plants from nurseries
here in the UK, even if you are allowed to.
