---

Uvularia grandiflorum, called Merry Bells or Large Bellwort, is a wonderful North American native flowering perennial plant for the shade or woodland garden. Similar in habit to Helleborus (Lenten Rose), it forms an attractive upright clump of foliage from which numerous, very showy, pendulous, lily-like deep lemon-yellow flowers hang like bells in spring. The large, 1.5-inch flower is shaped like a long bell, has six smooth but twisted perianth parts, and is mildly fragrant. The blooming occurs in our north-central Georgia gardens in early to mid-spring. The plant’s root system is rhizomatous, so, if planted in a partially shaded or shady woodland setting with loose, fertile, moist soil, the plant will slowly spread to form a colony if left undisturbed. Merry Bells is a great companion to hardy perennial ferns, Hosta lilies, Heucheras, Helleborus, and many other shade-loving and woodland plants. It is one of those plants that always has you looking forward to spring!

Yellow Merry Bells is easy to grow in most consistently moist but well-drained soils of average or better fertility and full or partial shade in a woodland setting. It prefers moist, humusy soil and partial shade to full shade but can tolerate occasional dry soil. The fallen leaves of the trees provide the perfect mulch and organic matter that decomposes to feed the plants.
