PerennialHeritage Perennial Profile

Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.

 Plant Number: 1.106.200USDA Zone: 2 - 9 
Brunnera macrophylla
Common name :  Siberian Bugloss
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.
