Brunnera macrophylla ‘Variegata’
Siberian Bugloss |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.106.250
A superb specimen perennial, forming a clump of heart-shaped leaves boldly splashed with creamy-white and green. Sprays of bright blue Forget-me-not flowers appear in mid to late spring. This is a choice collector's plant, much in demand, but often in limited supply. Excellent in the woodland garden. Keep out of direct sun, as the white leaf edges will scorch easily. Plants may be divided carefully in early fall, but very small pieces have a tendency to revert to plain green.
