DESCRIPTION

Brunnera macrophylla 'Alexander's Great' is a spectacular, large-leaved perennial prized for its immense, heart-shaped silver foliage dramatically veined in deep green, creating a striking and luminous ground cover in shady spots. It produces charming sprays of tiny, sky-blue flowers in spring that resemble forget-me-nots, adding a delicate touch of color. This vigorous and easy-care plant is perfect for brightening woodland gardens, shady borders, and containers, where its bold foliage provides months of interest from spring to fall, thriving in consistent moisture and well-drained soil.

PLANTING & CARE

Plant in part shade to full shade in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Remove spent flower stems after blooming. The foliage remains attractive throughout the season; cut back in late fall or early spring.
