Hepatica acutiloba Monroe Shocks Puya and SonoraWhen we collected a division of this Hepatica acutiloba in Alabama's Monroe County in 2011, we had no idea what we'd just found. After growing it in our garden for several years, we were shocked to notice that it not only thrived in our summer heat and humidity, but it also never went summer or fall dormant like almost all of our other hepatica collections. In fact, when it flowered in spring, the year old leaves still looked great. Hepatica acutiloba
