Carsten, japonica x pyrenaica is very impressive, especially the anthers. Probably it is better for the garden as japonica. I have a Hepatica nobilis var. pyrenaica x japonica in our garden that flowers well but it is sterile https://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=17578.150 « Reply #156 on: March 16, 2020, 03:22:32 PM »Is yours fertile?
Carsten, that Hepatica transsylvanica is very early. Is it ‘Blumenstadt Erfurt’?Beautiful picture with the snow!
Another two white ones.Hepatica japonica 'Yumegokoti' and a seedling of japonica x pyrenaica.
It is 'Winterfreunde' and I edited the post.
No flowering is possible here, like Leena says at least until April outdoors.So, we admire the foliage when possible Friday was a good hiking day: sunny, albeit quite cold. On slopes with enough light the snow is starting to melt.Hepatica americana winter foliage. (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)
So beautiful both of them but I am very partial to the seedlings and to all Hepatica simple flowers with colored anthers. And H. transs. 'Winterfreunde' is a dream! I raised a few seedlings, non-flowering yet; I hope the cold would keep them dormant when they'll reach flowering age.How cold it is in you region right now?
Gabriela, very nice leaves. Last summer I noticed some wild H.nobilis had marbled leaves in spring and early summer, but later in autumn they were even coloured. I have some plants that I will keep an eye on to see if they are marbled again next spring/summer.
We had double-digit minusgrades for some nights, not below -12C. Light frost during daytime and the snow is melting in the sun. As autumn was mild, many Hepaticas outside started to grow a little bit and some even had flower buds coming up.
