Jeffersonia dubia Plants from China The sky blue flowers emerge(aka: Plagiorhegma dubium) This Korean counterpart to our native Jeffersonia diphylla starts its life in early spring when it produces numerous stalks of upfacing blue lavender cupped flowers. Just as the flowering ceases, the foliage emerges from a tight clump, resembling a nicely lobed Sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot). Jeffersonia dubia prefers well drained but slightly moist soils and a near neutral pH.
