Brunnera Macrophylla Looking Glass (PBR) | 9cm Pot

Position: partial shade Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy The foliage of this beautiful ground-covering perennial is almost entirely infused with silver, leaving only some of the veins and outermost edges of the leaves a rich green. This then makes it ideal for illuminating the woodland floor or partially shaded border edge – and just after the fresh batch of foliage appears each spring, it is almost immediately followed by sprays of rich, sky blue flowers. Try mixing it with ferns, spring flowering bulbs, and hostas for a naturalised effect. Garden care: Remove the faded flower-heads after flowering. Lift and divide the plant every two or three years in late autumn.
