Uvularia grandiflora
Large-flowered bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora) is native to eastern North America. It blooms in May, producing large yellow flowers. It is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Prefers a moist, humusy soil and part shade.
It features 1.5" long, pendulous, somewhat bell-shaped, yellow flowers with six, partially twisted tepals (petal and sepal look-alikes) and lance-shaped, perfoliate (leaf base encircles the stem), partially twisted, bright green leaves. The plant has an overall droopy appearance. Occurs in the wild typically in rich woodlands, on wooded slopes and in alluvial valleys.
The genus name comes from the anatomical term uvula referring to the lobe hanging from the back of the soft palate in man in reference to the hanging blossoms.
This is an excellent native shade plant for the woodland garden, shaded border front, wildflower garden or naturalized area. Mass plantings along wood margins and under shade trees can be stunning.

We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.
We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.
We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
