__NOTOC__{{Plantbox

'''''Uvularia''''' is a [[genus]] of plants in the family [[Colchicaceae]], close to the [[lily]] family ([[Liliaceae]]). They are commonly called Bellworts, Bellfowers or Merrybells. This unusual flower is found in April and May, often on wooded slopes or in ravines and it spreads by [[stolons]] or stoloniferus rhizomes. The plants are usually 18 to 24 inches (45–60 cm) in height and bear one or two flowers which hang downward from the axils of the leaves.

These unobtrusive [[woodland]] plants are great for the woodland and shade garden, they require little work and are happy just left alone but are also easy to work with if you must move them. They have erect, simple or twice branched stems with leaves at the top of the stems that are [[Leaf shape|alternate]], or perfoliated. Flowers hang downward in Spring from the top of the plants. They form singularly or sometimes in pairs.
