Uvularia perfoliata aka Straw Bell

Uvularia perfoliata, also known as the perfoliate bellwort, is a rare perennial forb native to the eastern United States and Canada. This deciduous plant forms small colonies with wiry, erect to arching stems that can reach up to 50cm in height. Its oval, greyish-green leaves, which are approximately 10cm long, clasp the stems at their base. In late spring and early summer, the perfoliate bellwort produces pale yellow, bell-shaped flowers, with one flower per stem. As a houseplant, the perfoliate bellwort requires regular watering to thrive. It thrives best in long-lasting, direct light and should be positioned less than 1 foot away from a window. Well-draining soil is recommended for this plant. Repotting is necessary each time the plant doubles in size, eliminating the need for additional fertilizers. Belonging to the Uvularia genus, this plant is native to Canada and the United States.
