The young plants looked sickly upon their arrival, but quickly and successfully recovered: lovely foliage of a very bright green, perfect for brightening up a shady spot.

Description

Brunnera macrophylla Langtrees, also known as 'Aluminium Spot' by our English neighbours, is a variety with apple green foliage speckled with curious symmetrical lines of silver dots, topped with magnificent blue flowers arranged in paniculate clusters (conical-shaped clusters) that are 30cm (12in) long in March-April.

 

Brunnera macrophylla, also known as Great Forget-me-not or Siberian Bugloss, is a perennial that grows in the forests of Eastern Europe and Northwestern Asia. It is cultivated for its delicate flowers that resemble forget-me-nots and its groundcover habit that forms a thick carpet of deciduous foliage.

Very hardy, down to -20°C (1°F), this Siberian bugloss has heart-shaped leaves that can reach up to 15cm (6in) long. They are highly decorative in pots and in the garden.

Brunnera macrophylla Langtrees thrives in cool partial shade and is a good border plant. It is well-suited for wild gardens or informal perennial bed. It pairs well with spring bulbs and other perennials.

Planting and care

Plant Brunnera macrophylla Langtrees in moist, humus-rich and well-drained soil. Place it in dappled sunlight or partial shade. Shelter it from excessive sunlight and protect it from strong winds. Brunnera is resistant to most diseases and parasites. This perennial needs time to grow and become spectacular. New foliage appears in March-April, just before flowering, and then the leaves grow larger.
