Virginia bluebells is a native Missouri wildflower that occurs statewide in moist, rich woods and river floodplains. It is also known from New York to Minnesota and from Alabama to Kansas. It is an erect, clump-forming perennial which grows 1-2' tall and features loose, terminal clusters of pendulous, trumpet-shaped, blue flowers (to 1" long) which bloom in early spring. Flower buds are pink and flowers emerge with a pinkish cast before turning blue.
