Japanese Hepatica (Hepatica nobilis var. japonica f. magna)

@

Single selection

Dark purple Otome

Otome is one of flower mutation that has now stamens. This is not showy as other double mutations but we found out Otome type is very good mother plants to hybrid. Their daughters some times has several different types of double form. Especially, dark color Otome is very rare.

'Murasaki Toki'

Dark purple with broad white margine. I love these bicolor flowers with good contrast.

Purple with pink anther

Soft purple with pink anther. Very soft color combination.

Purple with red stamen

Japanese Hepatica has so many different range of colors, especially purple-violet and pink-red. It seems impossible to find out same shape and same color. Every flower is different from others.

Dark fresh red

Most of pink-red colors are dark pink to dark red, but these fresh color is very rare. It may happened by combination with pigmentation and structure of petals.

Red with white bottom

Japanese people loves this flower shape, looks like Prunus mume flower. Round flower with round shaped petals.
