Globeflower, corydalis and hepatica are spring flowing perennials that are well suited to prairie gardens and northern climates. Trollius sask

Common or European globeflower

Here is a lovely perennial, one of the earliest to bloom, which should have a place in every northern garden. Sadly, it is seldom seen in our gardens. The blue-flowered corydalis are more readily available, but are not reliably hardy in most northern regions.It forms leafy mounds of attractive, ferny, pinnately compound foliage with a blue-green cast. The flowers, in large dense racemes, are bright yellow with a brown tip, each with four petals, one of which is spurred.

The Greek word hepar means “liver” while wort means “a cure for.” Both are based on the early medieval Doctrine of Signatures, wherein the signature or characteristic of a plant indicated its medicinal use as a cure. Thus, Hepatica was said to cure ailments of the liver.Article content Hepatica nobilis, 10 to 15 cm in height, is native to the subalpine deciduous forests of Europe and western Asia. The solitary blue, pink, red, or white flowers appear above the previous season’s foliage in early spring. There are also double forms. The almost evergreen, dark green, basal leaves are three-lobed and develop after the flowers. They remain attractive throughout the growing season.
