Brunnera

Brunnera is a long-lived perennial originally from the mountain meadows and forests of the Caucasus. It is interesting not only when in bloom. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, and light green. They form a contrasting background for the delicate and tiny flowers that appear above the carpet of leaves from April to May. It sprouts early and dies back late, making it a valuable groundcover perennial.

Siberian bugloss, like its better-known relative large-leaf brunnera, is suitable for beds in light shade. The blue color of the flowers is common to them, and the course of vegetation is identical. After flowering, all energy is transferred to the leaves, which grow remarkably quickly to their final size and form rich carpets. This bugloss forms more shoots and is suitable for ground cover. It also copes better with unfavorable soil conditions and moisture deficits.
