Brunnera macrophylla ‘Sterling Silver’ PP31280

Siberian Bugloss

This improved Brunnera forms a large mound of eye-catching, 7-8” wide, bright silver leaves with green veining that shine in the shade. Increased heat tolerance and disease resistance helps the foliage remain attractive all season. Sprays of tiny blue, forget-me-not flowers are a bonus in spring. Breeder: Walters Gardens.
