Value-for-money
This perennial forms a carpet of heart-shaped leaves, emerald green heavily speckled with silver, which remain decorative long after flowering. In spring, it is adorned with numerous small forget-me-not-blue flowers. Very hardy, it thrives in partial shade in humus-bearing soil that remains moist. Excellent groundcover at the base of shrubs, on the edge of woodland or in a shaded border.

Planting and care

Brunnera macrophylla ‘Emerald Mist’ is planted from February to April or from September to November, in partial shade or light shade. Choose a humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil; clay is suitable if it has been broken up with compost or leaf mould. Water regularly during the first year, then whenever the soil becomes persistently dry in summer. Avoid the scorching sun, especially in very sunny regions. Slugs may nibble the young shoots in spring. Remove damaged leaves during the season if necessary, then let the foliage die down naturally in autumn. Clumps are divided in spring or autumn. Growing in pots is possible in shade, with regular watering.
