One of the prettiest flowers in the garden is the Virginia bluebells. Officially classified as Hortensia Virginia, they are also called the Virginia cowslip. It is a perennial native to North America. You will find fields of Virginia bluebells here and there because they are a great plant for naturalizing and can grow in just about any garden. The flowers actually start out pink when in bud, but when blooming, quickly turn into a darker, richer, blue-purple hue. When planted against dense, deep greens of foundation plantings, it is a sight that is delicate and rare.
