Mertensia virginica
Common Name: Virginia Bluebells
Family Name: Boraginaceae
I think we all can agree, the foliage of this plant looks like spinach with a bluish green and matte texture. The flowers on the plant bud in pink and turn blue as they open. It grows two feet in height and takes part shade.
