Uvularia grandiflora (Large-flowered Bellwort)
When planted en masse, graceful, nodding flowers create a lovely visage when they peek from under foliage, which also is attractive, especially to white-tailed deer. The discovery of this native* wildflower in deciduous woodlands often signifies that the natural ground vegetation remains largely undisturbed.
*It is found in Garrett County, MD and mostly in PA’s west and north-central parts. In VA, it is frequent to locally common in the sw. and wc. mountains, north to Rockingham County; infrequent to rare in the adjacent inner Piedmont. It is not native to NoVA, DC, or DE. You can view the VA counties in which it has been reported here.
