Description
Little Merrybells is a graceful native perennial that thrives in the woodlands of Massachusetts, whether the soil is wet or dry. This spring bloomer features creamy yellow, bell-shaped flowers that dangle delicately from upright stems, creating a soft woodland charm. Its narrow, strap-like leaves are hairless and sessile, helping distinguish Little Merrybells from similar native species. Though flowering plants may not always set seed, they often spread underground through stolons, forming quiet colonies over time.
Ideal for naturalized gardens, shady woodland edges, or native plant landscapes, Little Merrybells offers subtle beauty and ecological value. This species is found throughout eastern and central North America and adapts well to Massachusetts woodlands. Little Merrybells contributes to the biodiversity of your garden while requiring little intervention. For a low-maintenance native perennial that gently spreads and lights up the spring garden, Little Merrybells is a lovely choice.
