Last year I planted some seedlings of Hepatica japonica in my pots of Camellias. They seem to grow well and withstand the root pressure so far.

Peppa Thanks for the really nice article about the chromosome numbers in Hepatica

Maggi thanks for the trip down memory lane, took a wile to get back to present days. Many people that seems less active here that used to be active.

YT thanks for the Facebook links. Nice to see that the hepatica shows seems open.

Carsten some really nice seedlings and my favourite was the first one. Also nice to plant hepaticas with camélias. My closest combo has been to have cyclamen graecum in a lemon tree. I had it in a pot on top so not as nice as your combo.
I lifted the protective branches and there seem to be life in the hepaticas so with some sun a lot may happen in the garden now.

Hope to see more plants here while the garden gets ready

Carsten, great show! They seems also to have already many new leaves.

Carsten, you are using all possible places for your Hepatica's!

All leaves are from last season. When most of them start their new growth in a few weeks, I need to shadow the greenhouse.

So Carsten you don't cut any old leaves.

Nice to see more Hepatica flowers, either simple or doubles!
Hopefully your H. yamatutai won't be affected by the cold Herman.

We are in a polar vortex currently, it seems I may have chosen a bad year to try young H. japonica in the ground. There is snow but surely not enough for constant night temp. under -15C over a long period (down to -21C forecasted).
Luckily I managed to bring in the garage some of the potted Hepaticas and they seem OK after defrosting.
Gabriela, Hepatica yamatutai has survived the cold, now there are some new flowers.

Herman, I remove any shrivelled leaves during the year and some before blooming starts. Then finally shortly before the new leaves start to grow I remove the rest of them. I don't cut them but pull them out gently. This works with almost all plants, just a few have too sensitive buts and they may brake out as well.

Kris, I would give it a try as Hepatica pubescens grows in the mountains in Japan. As you have lots of snow cover and transsylvanica is growing well for you I guess it may work.
Thanks Carsten. Yes Hepatica transsilvanica is very hardy. I never lost any. But few times I have lost some seedlings from nobilis cross. In one hard winter I lost a  nice double pink Hepatica seedling that I grew from the F2 generation seeds I bought.
This year I am going to cross my own hepaticas.
Is it possible to cross the H.transsilvanica Ellison spence ? I know it does not have pollen. Do they have pistil?

Carsten, I like the dark blue on the last photo!
Is it a nobilis clone?

Carsten, what a Hepatica-show you have! I keep looking at that last picture with all shapes and colours of flowers and so much of them.

Herman, I'm glad your Hepaticas outside didn't suffer from your cold snap, H.transsilvanicas and H.yamatutai are so nice.

Leena, they are indeed nice. But transsilvanica grows much better in the garden than yamatutai.
