Hi Marilyn,
Thanks!
Unfortunately, no, I'm not aware of any Hepatica native to the PNW...
I double-checked in Rickett's "Wildflowers of the United States"
(the two volumes on the Northwest states) and also in Plants of the
Pacific Northwest Coast by Pojar and Mackinnon, but neither one
listed any Hepatica species either.
I would think that Hepatica americana would fare well out where you're
at, though (it tends to like moist, acidic soils more than H. acutiloba,
which likes more neutral, well-drained soils).
Chris
