Brunnera macrophylla


Siberian Bugloss

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.106.200


These cousins to the Forget-me-nots are little-known, yet delightful for their bright display of sky-blue flowers in spring, and reliable clumps of large heart-shaped leaves all season. Plants are happy in any shady area that stays relatively moist. Often will self-seed and appear around the garden in other places. Makes for an attractive and versatile groundcover, particularly under shrubs. Clumps may be easily divided in early fall.
