Uvularia grandiflora, the Large-flowered Bellwort or Merrybells, is a species of flowering plant in the family Colchicaceae, native to eastern and central North America.
Growing to 75cm tall, this rhizomatous herbaceous perennial with pendent leaves which are hairy on the undersides. It blooms in mid- to late spring, producing large yellow, solitary or paired, bell-shaped, pendent flowers. The top parts of the plant tend to bend downward due to the weight of the leaves and flowers. The light green stems are round, glabrous, and glaucous and the leaves are perfoliate since the stem appears to come through the leaves at the base. In late summer three capsuled ovaries split open releasing the seeds.
