Brunnera macrophylla 'Sterling Silver'
Brunnera ‘Sterling Silver' is a Siberian bugloss with green veining on large, silver foliage and little blue flowers in spring.
Description:
Brunnera are closely related to forget-me-nots (Myosoitis) and Anchusa. They have beautiful heart-shaped leaves held in an attractive mound and cute forget-me-not-like blue flowers in spring. ‘Sterling Silver' is a sport of 'Looking Glass' with the same, much sought after, silver foliage and green veining but much larger with 7-8 inch wide leaves and a larger habit, better leaf quality, and increased heat tolerance. Fantastic in a woodland setting, the shade garden as a specimen or ground cover, and in containers.
