Brunnera
Siberian Bugloss
Handsome and undemanding, this ground cover forms large, tidy basal clumps of long-petioled, broad foliage, and displays charming flowers that begin blooming in early spring and persist through Memorial Day. Appreciating some shade plus evenly-moist organic-rich soil, Brunnera is at home by water’s edge, en masse in the border, or as a filler between newly planted shrubs.
Not all variegated plants possess the sophisticated beauty displayed by this British introduction’s lovely foliage. It features felted, heart-shaped, pale green leaves, each rimmed with an irregular, rich cream-colored swath. Delicate sprays of starry blue flowers dance above on graceful stems, offering a soothing yet vibrant presence for a shady spot.
Blooms mid-February–June
Size: 15" high x 2' 0" wide.
