Siberian Bugloss

Silver, heart-shaped leaves of Siberian Bugloss with blue flowers.

Heart-Shaped Beauty for the Shade

Siberian Bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla) is a top-tier shade plant grown for its stunning foliage. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, and often frosted with silver patterns that light up dark corners. In mid-spring, it produces clouds of tiny, baby-blue flowers that look exactly like Forget-Me-Nots.

Why You Need It:

  • Silver Foliage: Cultivars like 'Jack Frost' look like silver jewelry in the garden.
  • Deer Resistant: The rough texture of the leaves deters deer.
  • Groundcover: Forms a dense, weed-suppressing clump that improves with age.

Planting Tips:

Thrives in Part Shade to Full Shade. It prefers rich, moist soil and does not like drying out. It pairs beautifully with ferns and dark-leaved Heuchera.
