Uvularia grandiflora
Also called Bellwort, Large Flowered Bellwort, Yellow Bellwort
Largeflower bellwort is a hardy woodland perennial from eastern and central North America, grown for its drooping yellow bell-shaped flowers in spring. It thrives in cool, moist, shaded woodland conditions.
Uvularia grandiflora, the large-flowered bellwort or merrybells, is a species of flowering plant in the family Colchicaceae, native to eastern and central North America.
In cultivation in the UK Uvularia grandiflora has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. There exists a cultivar 'Pallida' with paler coloured flowers.
The native range of Uvularia grandiflora extends from the Appalachians west to the Dakotas, Kansas and Oklahoma, from Louisiana and Georgia in the South to Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec in Canada. So, it is widespread across the eastern mountains, the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley. There are also isolated populations along Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
