With large heart-shaped leaves and delicate sprays of sky blue flowers, Brunnera adds dramatic long-lasting color to shady beds and borders. Newer cultivars produce eye-catching foliage with intricate silver or white patterns. DETAILS STYLE CARE Care Thrives in cool sites with humus-rich, moist, well-drained soils. Shelter from harsh sun exposures. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish root system; once established, water regularly to maintain evenly moist soil. What: Brunnera is a slowly spreading, rhizomatous perennial, native to woodland areas. It's prized for its sprays of spring flowers and its heart-shaped leaves. Short in stature, this plant is often used in masses or as a billowy ground cover. Season: Flowers appear in early to mid-spring and can last through early summer. 1. Consider your climate. If your area is in a warmer area, opt for a cultivar with silver leaves—'Jack Frost,' 'King's Ransom,' 'Langtrees,' 'Looking Glass,' 'Sea Heart,' and 'Silver Heart' all do better than other brunnera plants when grown in heat and humidity. 2.
