If you have the round-lobed species, Hepatica americana, there is probably no definitive answer. They sometimes go dormant in the summer and reappear in the spring, but some do not. They require sharp drainage and are usually found on sandy or rocky slopes in deciduous woodlands. Of the many I have planted in the garden over the years, only a few have survived. Have had more success growing them in pots, with a well drained soiless mix.
The sharp-lobed species, Hepatica acutiloba, seems to be more tolerant of soils and location, once they become established. In my garden, they seldom go dormant in summer and remain evergreen, even during drought conditions and with some afternoon sun exposure.

So you're saying I won't know until next spring. I did (do) have the round-leaved species. If I ever get my hands on some more of it, I'm putting it in a raised bed. I'm amazed at the difference between the plants I put in raised beds and the ones I plant in amended soil. If I had my way, I'd raise my whole yard by 8 inches.

I have one round lobed plant that comes and goes. Others stay around. Not sure what the difference is between their locations. But it does come back after it disappears for a while.
