With subtle grace, this moisture-loving woodland dweller unveils exquisitely dainty, moonlit yellow blooms. Its slender rhizomes send up a colony of wiry, erect branching stalks alternately wrapped in smooth, fresh green oblong foliage without petioles. From the upper leaf nodes on arched stem tips, 6 twisted lanceolate petals define narrowly bell-shaped blooms that enact a merry, dangling dance.

A Solomon’s Seal relation native to central and eastern America, Merrybells easily enchants any open, shady haunt given humus-rich soil, mulch and companions like Disporum ‘Heronswood Night’ and Ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip’.

Blooms March–April.
