While its common name may not roll of the tongue, rest assured that Perfoliate Bellwort is a gem of the woodland garden. In early spring, soft green leaves give rise to a bell-shaped, butter yellow flower. In due time, these plants will spread forming impressive patches with true flower power. They may be small in stature but they score big on the cuteness scale!
