A striking addition to low-light areas
Brunnera 'Silver Heart' is a captivating perennial perfect for transforming shaded garden spaces into enchanting retreats. Its thick, heart-shaped leaves, adorned with beautiful green veining, catch the light in remarkable ways, offering a luminous presence that brightens up any low-light area. In addition to its stunning foliage, this Siberian Bugloss variety produces charming sprays of delicate blue flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots in early spring, providing a delightful contrast to the silver leaves.
Ideal for landscape designers and gardeners alike, 'Silver Heart' combines exceptional durability with low-maintenance needs. A staple of shady, moist gardens with rich soil, brunnera is tolerant of summer heat and humidity. Whether used in woodland settings, as ground cover, or in border plantings, its presence enhances the beauty of your yard or landscape throughout the growing season.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a shaded to partially shaded area with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and cover the roots with soil, gently firming it in place.
2. Watering: Water regularly after planting, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. Brunnera performs best with consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season.
3. Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed; simply remove any dead or damaged leaves in spring. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and encourages new growth.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to boost growth. Avoid fertilizing too late in the season, as this may encourage tender growth susceptible to winter damage.
