Siberian Bugloss
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.
