The Virginia Waterleaf is a native, perennial wildflower in Wisconsin. It grows one to two feet tall. It has round clusters of one to 1-1/2-inch-wide light blue to white flowers that are 1/4 to 1/2-inch long. Each flower has five petals that fuse to form a bell. It has five to six-inch leaves with five to seven sharply toothed lobes. The surface of the leaves is marked as if stained by water. It likes moist, rich soil in shade or part shade in woodlands, often near streams. (LS)
