The Story
Brunnera – macrophylla
Enhance your shade garden with Brunnera macrophylla, a clump-forming perennial prized for its large, velvety heart-shaped leaves and delicate sprays of sky‑blue, forget‑me‑not‑like flowers in mid to late spring. This plant typically reaches 12–18 inches tall and spreads 18–30 inches wide, creating a lush groundcover or border feature. Its bold foliage often has silvery-white variegation, adding sparkle to shaded areas long after bloom fades. Brunnera thrives in consistently moist, well‑drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it ideal for woodland gardens or under canopy plantings. Deer typically avoid it, and it requires minimal maintenance aside from periodic division every 3–5 years.
